Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

4 speed, Becker Mexico radio, fitted luggage, dual spares, foglights. 43,886 miles. Fair repaint, decent interior, wood and chrome. Good door and panel fits. Clean, complete and unusual, if far from concours.

Market commentary

Unsold at the NY Auto Salon 2 months ago, now with 13 more miles and some further attention it presents better and the B J audience was more receptive. Apparently the sunroof actually does make a difference in value, as it brought fully $20,000 more than a tintop 300S.
