Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Nardi woodrim steering wheel, Rudge wheels, fitted luggage, blackwall tires. Paint cracked under left windshield corner, micro blisters on left rear hood corner, sound interior, excellent chrome. A very impressive Gullwing with plenty of tour miles on it but excellent, consistent care and attention. Saturday Prime Time. No Reserve.

Market commentary

This is a very serious looking Gullwing with its blackwall tires, black paint and black Rudge wheels. Is it $600K serious Apparently the B J bidders thought so although its not likely anyone will share that idea any time soon. Is this transaction over the top or just expensive The seller (Bruce Meyer) doesnt need the money, but will redeploy it wisely.
