Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Radio, Rudge wheels, elaborate Solvil clock timer on transmission tunnel. One family owned in Mexico until earlier this year, odometer shows 60,691 km and is probably actual. Good older repaint and inteiror now soiled and tired, dry rubber seals, clean underhood, decent chrome. A sound and fairly well maintained largely original Gullwing showing its age and lack of use in recent years.

Market commentary

Originality is highly prized but when it is as tired as this the attraction begins to pale. The price here is a reasonable compromise that recognizes this Gullwings attributes and shortcomings.
