Equipment
1,996/115hp, 4-speed, Borrani wire wheels, woodrim steering wheel, driving lights. Leather upholstery.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Completed by Ghia, the only car not done with the Supersonic bodywork but instead with one-off shape designed by Virgil Exner and Felice Mario Boano. Ownership history dating back to 1957. Restored in the 1990s and early 2000s. Exhibited at the Quail, Villa d'Este and Pebble Beach twice. Excellent body panel fit, but the paint has a number of chips on the front and one above the left rear wheel well. The interior has some wear, especially on the driver's seat, but not excessive. A good, old restoration with plenty of forgivable use.
Market commentary
Harmonious three-box coachwork that is represented as unique on this chassis. Sold for $563,543 at RM London in 2009 (£341,000 at the time) then $946,000 at RM Arizona in 2014 where the odometer showed the same 42,991 km that it does today, nine years later. It's not a Zagato, but it is a pleasing Ghia design and is in very good older restored condition making the price it brought realistic.
