Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Rudge wheels, belly pan. Represented as once owned by Humberto (sic) Maglioli. Quick poor repaint, thin chrome, cracked seals, worn interior dyed black over original green, wrong seats. Flat black bombed under hood. Rough.

Market commentary

A largely original Gullwing, even with the mediocre attempts to spiff it up, thats worth about what was bid. And its Umberto, a great Italian driver. Getting it wrong shows about as much respect for the man as was shown for his car.
