Market commentary

Sold by Christie's at Pebble Beach in 1993 as an incomplete restoration project ("Red primer/(missing); rusty silver wire wheels, replacement engine of correct type; very incomplete restoration with several boxes that couldn't possibly contain enough parts; missing door handles, instruments, throttle linkage, wiring, hand brake and exhaust; new hood and many interior panels, exterior body far from finished; steering rack and attachment to frame look new, no radiator or interior trim; a big project." You've come a long way, baby to this pristine if mixed origin delightful little car which balances a superb restoration with replacement engine (and who knows what else) to result in a price that is fair to both seller and buyer.
