Equipment

Fitted luggage, Rudge knockoff wheels, Nardi steering wheel. Well restored to like new condition with excellent paint, interior and chrome and not overdone underhood. A quality Gullwing.

Market commentary

And a much better car than when it appeared here last, in 1998, in pretty ratty shape. A no sale then at $195,000, the work done since comes close to making the price here seem appropriate, however it was on the block at RM Monterey last August and didnt sell for $285,000, a much more reasonable bid. The two Gullwings offered at B J this year brought very impressive prices.
