Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Represented as a two-owner car, first ordered by an admiral in the Royal Navy. Unusual but attractive colors. Lightly scratched bumpers. Shiny paint, but it has a fair bit of orange peel. Erratic panel gaps with some chips around the edges of the doors. Tired wood and leather, likely all original. Partially restored underneath. The tires look newer. Very clean and tidy engine bay. Attractive and straight, but never fully redone.
Market commentary
This is a heck of a lot of style, sophistication and sheetmetal for the money, but it's not a surprising price. Six-cylinder Cloud Is are worth less than the later V8s, Standard Steel cars are worth less than coachbuilt ones, and RHD cars are worth less than LHD ones (in this country). Couple all that to this one's paint and general age, and the price makes perfect sense.
