Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

John von Neuman car driven by Miles and Ginther in 56, unused since, with only 4,202 miles. Decent recent repaint, a very spartan interior. Bad oil leaks from engine, which is a correct, but not original, Type 547 3.

Market commentary

If were lucky, this nice and historic 550 Spyder went to someone who will run it enough to keep the oil seals from drying out and drooling all over the tarmac. Low miles is one thing, but this is a race car and needs to be used.
