About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Excellent paint and chrome, the underbody, engine compartment and underbody are all excellent condition and interior very good. Restored in the 90's then stored before being recommissioned in 2022. Appears like a new car and has always been owned by a single family or a business partner.

Market commentary

The history of this Gullwing alone makes it significant and its well-preserved old restoration only further commends it to new ownership. It is fully valued in this transaction, a fair shake both for the selling family and the new owner.
