Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Fitted luggage, tilt steering wheel, Becker Mexico radio, cleverly concealed A C added. Excellent cosmetics and nearly like new underhood. No longer fresh but very, very nice and the A C overcomes one of the bigger drawbacks to enjoying a Gullwing on warm summer days. Maintained by Paul Russell & Co for the last seven years.

Market commentary

Sold by Christies at Pebble Beach in 1993 for $217,000 when it was freshly restored. The result here is strong for a Gullwing, even one in this exceptiolly well maintained and presented condition.
