Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Four speed, Becker Nurburg radio, fog lights. Restored in the 90s by Kienle in Stuttgart. Excellent paint, interior, chrome and interior wood. Chassis, however, is not up to the same standards. A very high quality driver with great eye appeal.

Market commentary

The difference between a 90s European restoration and one done in the US in the same time frame is evident here. This car looks good and probably runs like a top but it isnt presented to the better than showroom standards that attract American buyers.
