Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Matching numbers, steel wheels, Marchal headlights, tools, complete with all important documentation and period photographs.

Market commentary

Once again, an original car with period racing history, lifelong care and all records rings the bell. Well sold at mid-market today, but a good bet to seem well bought down the road.
