Equipment
1250cc MG engine with Judson supercharger, modern 5-speed with modern shifter, Borrani wire wheels, Bluemels Brooklands steering wheel, period radio.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
One of 67 coupes. Decent older paint with some orange peel and masking errors above the windshield and rear glass. The windshield itself shows several scratches in the glass. Significant scratching on the rear quarter window frames. There is also a small dent below the rear glass. Beautiful interior, although that modern shift knob is a bit conspicuous. All little niggles on a seriously rare car, and rather handsome car.
Market commentary
Bonhams sold this car in scruffy and largely unrestored condition at the Simeone Museum in 2015 for $39,600. It has clearly had a lot of money spent on it since then, not all of which is accounted for in this price. It's a surprisingly modest result, especially given the massive price for the cabriolet sold later in the day, but maybe all the bidders were just keeping their powder dry for the rarer drop top car.
