Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Three owners from new. Fitted with factory prepared 240hp NSL high performance engine and Rudge wheels. Good new paint and very nicely refurbed original interior leather. Detailed underhood, mechanically freshened and presented in essentially showroom condition. Some early racing history with Mogie Adams, then owned by Harold Derusha and his survivors for many years.

Market commentary

Ordinary Gullwings in this condition are $200 225,000 cars. Its safe to say the high performance engine is enough to make this car worth more and would be a good value at anything close to the amount bid.
