Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Superb older restoration to concours standards. Paint chipped on top of hood and a badly filled joint showing in LF fender. Beautiful interior, excellent wood. Fitted luggage. Perfect panel fits and immaculate details.

Market commentary

Someone is going to buy this car right, considering the two flaws in the finish, and have an essentially perfect piece for a very fair price. The bid was shy of being realistic, but at $200 225,000 and painting a couple panels this is a good deal.
