Equipment
Chrome spoke Borrani wire wheels, Pirelli Cinturato HS tires, Marchal head and fog lights, heater, alloy body.
Condition
Coachwork modified by Boano shortly after being built in the present low roof style. Excellent paint, chrome and interior. Underbody is restored like new and now has a little age and use. Engine compartment shows a little more use but is still clean and tidy. A very desirable car, for many reasons, not least its acceptance for the 2014 Mille Miglia Storica.
Market commentary
Offered at Gooding's Scottsdale auction in 2011 with a reported high bid of $750,000, then sold by RM at Monterey seven months later in August 2011 for $660,000 before the recent restoration that has put it in showroom condition. Note that the original Pinin Farina photos show a car sitting much lower on its suspension; today it stands tall on springs that have yet to settle in. The reported bid here is close enough to the pre-sale low estimate that it is hard to understand why a deal wasn't worked out.
