Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome Rudge knockoff wheels. Mostly original with a fair old repaint that needs wet sanding to knock down its orange peel. Seats recovered but the rest of the interior is original and in sound if not impressive conditon. Maintained and orderly underhood in largely original condition showing little use. Stainless steel exhaust system. Odometer shows some 21,000 miles which may be original. Bernie Ecclestone Collection.

Market commentary

Shortcomings in condition and the repaint seem to have been offset by appreciation of this Gullwings originality and resulted in a compromise valuation that rests entirely on the bidders firsthand opinions. Theyre the ones with the checkbooks and thats what counts.
