Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Rudge wheels, White steering wheel. Early car with separate wheel well eyebrows, hand wind clock. Stored from 1961 1993 then restored with uprated engine, later gearbox and air controller (original parts included). 2001 Greenwich Concours trophy winner. Essentially flawless except for a delaminating windshield corner. With the uprated engine and gearbox it should be a wonderful tour car.

Market commentary

The bidders enthusiasm for this early Gullwing is thoroughly justified by the cars preparation and presentation.
