About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Fantastic paint and brightwork, engine compartment completely restored, underbody in fantastic condition, interior restored but dull in comparison to the rest of the car. A pretty body-off restoration done in New Zealand from 1994-2001.

Market commentary

Let go for less than expected. The restoration has aged, but the quality was still apparent.
