Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Silver painted wire wheels, hood mounted driving lights, drivers wraparound windscreen, Coventry Climax 1098cc Stage II engine with dual sidedraft Webers. Raced when new by Tony Page in the UK with best result being a 4th in class in the 9 Hour at Goodwood. Uprated during subsequent racing then restored for vintage racing in the early 90s with a new Shapecraft body and the current engine. Sound, orderly and presentable but shows historic racing use and age. A great track car. Olav Glasius Collection

Market commentary

Offered but not sold by Coys at Monaco in 2006, the price it brought here is generous by any standard. Even if it had been freshly restored and race ready this would be all the money.
