Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

4 speed, sunroof, fog lights, Becker Mexico radio, wide whitewalls, partial fitted luggage. Chassis and engine 1 of the series. Cosmetically redone in the 60s, paint shows age, good interior and chrome, $21,000 in recent mechanical work but still just a driver. No Reserve.

Market commentary

Offered at Christies Pebble Beach in 2003 where it no saled at $85,000 (+77,400 against todays successful bid of +115,300, +131,500 with commission). Its not often that a car hammers sold at 57.5% of its low estimate, even without reserve, but the bidders here may even at that have been sucked into believing this is more car than it is. Congratulations to the seller; the buyer may be checking to see how many fingers are left.
