Equipment
Rudge wheels from new, ivory steering wheel and shift knob.
Condition
One owner the last half century. All original except for some paint work. The (original) headliner is sagging. The rubber floor mats and rear carpet are faded. The seats are not torn but are dirty, as are the door sills. Stone chips at the lower corners of the grille, with cracks at top left driver's side front corner of the hood. The front turn signal rubber seals are cracked. Almost all original and the 58,714 miles showing are represented as actual.
Market commentary
This is a million dollar Gullwing with a 3/4 million dollar originality premium, but it is a much, much better car than others seen recently covered in dirt and bird droppings, with tattered rodent-home interiors. This is a car that hasn't been mistreated or even neglected in its long dormancy. It needs comprehensive mechanical attention but is far too good to warrant restoration, which in fact would destroy much of its value both financial and as an example of originality. It is expensive by most standards, but deserves every dollar of the price it brought.
