Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Cosmetically restored (and color changed from Grey) in 1989 but mechanically only maintained and freshened as needed, with a good original interior. A delicate compromise between originality and appearance that seems to have worked particularly well. Consigned by Bernard Consten.

Market commentary

Like so many European transactions recently, this result is appropriate in Euros but expensive in dollars. For American buyers wielding packets of shrunken dollars European bazaars are frightening places these days.
