About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Two small blisters in the paint on the right front fender. Otherwise good older paint and chrome. The door fit is erratic on both sides. Tidy older restored engine bay and underbody. Dirty tires. Very good newer seats and headliner. The switchgear is a bit dull. An older restoration without much in the way of known history and noted "will require recommissioning".

Market commentary

The old restoration takes this Mark 2 Continental out of the realm of Preservation cars and puts it firmly in re-restoration project territory. Its condition is sound enough to make that a reasonable prospect, even if it had brought a few dollars more. It is one of the prettiest cars ever.
