About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

14,224 km from new, owned 45 years by Raffaele Lacarbonara until 2012. Aged and tired but a mostly original car. Chrome is peeling, upholstery is cracked and pulled. Probably too well preserved ever to be restored but for the right owner has just enough patina for some additional use not to have a significant effect on its originality or value.

Market commentary

Many onlookers were transfixed by this Europa GT and its history, a highly desirable combination of style, performance, originality and careful long term preservation that is avidly sought by collectors today. Based on its combination of attributes it is impossible to argue with the bidders' determination of value. Classiche certification will add to its aura of authenticity.
