Equipment
Rudge centerlock wheel with body color centers and polished rims, Michelin blackwall tires, Talbot outside mirror, hinged steering wheel, fitted luggage, air conditioning added.
Condition
Very good color changed paint, chrome and interior. Replacement engine block. Broken driver's outside door latch handle. Deck lid emblem was rechromed over small pits and the rear and quarter window lock trim is dull. Engine is orderly but the chassis is covered in road grime. A good used car with fresh cosmetics. Wade Carter estate.
Market commentary
The car collectors' faith in what might be is evident in the generous price paid for this sound but needy Gullwing. Its history of seventeen years with Wade Carter and for some time before that with John Calley offers some confidence in its underlying quality, but it also has a replacement block. The executors should be grateful to Bonhams for getting this much.
