Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Silver steel wheels, hubcaps, Talbot outside mirror. Very good paint, chrome, interior and top. Not original engine. Gauges could be better but overall a very good car with a fresh restoration.

Market commentary

This is what it costs to own a quality, freshly restored early Speedster today. This is a dandy car in triple black with inviting leather upholstery but its value, while appropriate in todays market, is inflated well beyond the inherent rarity and performance of the car itself. Its all well and good as long as there are buyers out there who share the infatuation but if they look around and see alternate ways this much money could be spent Speedster values are at risk.
