Equipment
Wheel covers, Silvertown whitewalls, Lucas driving lights, Flying B hood ornament, beige leather boot cover, bucket seats, column shift, Panasonic AM/FM radio, Smiths dash clock, power windows, burled wood dash, window trim and A-pillar trim.
Condition
Excellent paint and chrome that really pops. Immaculate interior wood. Very lightly worn high quality leather. Very clean detailed engine bay and underbody. Door and trunk fits are slightly off, most noticeably on the trunk. This is a magnificent automobile, and you'd have to be actively searching for flaws to pick up on its shortcomings because otherwise it's a breathtaking automobile to look at with a casual eye. It was restored over 20 years ago and displayed in a private museum since, and though it needs mechanical sorting, it is much better cosmetically than the typical museum car.
Market commentary
Offered by Christie's at Pebble Beach in 2003 where it attracted a high bid of $320,000, its odometer shows only 42 more miles now that it did then and the car is, if anything, in better cosmetic condition although 42 miles in 12 years in not conducive to good mechanical condition. It brought an exceptional price, even for a coachbuilt S1 Continental, that has been stationary for so long.
