Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Meticulously restored to concours condition, the fifth Gullwing built, a pre production car assembled in the M B racing department, owned by Juan Peron. Many pre production details carefully preserved.

Market commentary

This is a lot of money for a Gullwing, even superbly restored and presented as this one is. However it also has a unique history and provence which accounts for much of the premium.
