About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

CoA, Kardex. Upgraded with later 356 1600 Super engine. Reportedly in Bill Cosby's collection at one time, which isn't much of a selling point these days. Excellent paint. Top is a little tired. Very good interior with light wear to the seats. Cracks in the mirror gasket. Surprising amount of road wear underneath. Looks like a show car from 10 feet away, but it's quite used underneath.

Market commentary

Pre-A Cabriolets are rare and valuable cars, but considering this car's older restored condition and replacement engine, the result here was clearly on the expensive side.
