Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Fitted luggage, Rudge wheels. Shiny restoration and nearly flawless. Incorrect multi piece headliner, mismatched engine and chassis numbers (56 chassis, 55 engine), some minor flaws in execution and finishing.

Market commentary

Superbly restored, equipped and presented, there must be close to $200,000 just in restoration costs in this Gullwing. Even with the mis matched engine it is a sound buy at this price.
