748cc/71hp, 4-speed, stainless steel side exhaust, driver's rollbar, covered passenger seat, wraparound Plexiglas windscreen, alloy wheels, Dunlop Racing tires, driving lights, driver's head fairing, modern instruments (originals included.)

Condition

Very good paint and interior, good bright trim. Engine compartment, frame and chassis are like new. Le Mans Classic 2014 and 2016, Mille Miglia 2013 participant. Shown at Pebble Beach in 2002. Finished 9th in class in the 1955 Mille Miglia. A charming and exhilarating dimunitive racer for a jockey-weight driver.

Market commentary

A charming little car with potentially surprising performance and definitely appealing design, it's enough to give a competitive driver a strong incentive to go on a weight loss campaign. It was offered by RM at Monaco in 2018 where it brought a reported high bid of $173,290 (Euros 145,000 hammer at the time; this result is Euros 140,000 hammer.) Both the seller and the buyer should be satisfied with this realistic result.
