Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Headrest fin, Dunlop knockoff wheels, metal passenger tonneau, 3.8 liter with wide angle D type head. Good paint and interior. Cadian and club racing history, once had V8, restored after a crash to a close approximation of its origil appearance.

Market commentary

In a market where D types this well restored typically bring close to, if not over, a million this result is a huge discount for the lack of notable racing history and its total rebuild from boxes of crashed parts. A fine car nonetheless that will build its own history over time.
