Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. The number stamping is considered to be probably the original, says the catalog. Comes with old Testa Rossa style hood. 0640 MD TR was raced by Franco Cortese. Reputedly found in Brazil without engine, frame modified for other powerplant. Engine sourced from Stan Nowak. Some restoration work completed including frame rebuild and body support structure. Engine on stand and apparently no other chassis or driveline components included. 17.5% VAT due on hammer price. A.J. Lees and Company collection.

Market commentary

$395,763 with VAT. The confused history isnt much of deterrent since the bits are most likely genuine. When complete, however, it will be a mis match between engine and chassis ... and theres a vast distance between this pile of parts and complete. The buyer was very brave.
