Equipment

Fitted luggage, tilt wheel, blackwall tires. 9,863 miles from new, known history, displayed at Harrahs years ago, carefully preserved and in impeccable condition that looks like an old restoration but is in fact wonderfully origil and one of only two ordered in this beautiful Strawberry over Black leather color combition. A time machine.

Market commentary

On this weekend it is an amazing surprise that this meticulously maintained and preserved Gullwing didnt bring a million bucks. Not because it should have, but just because this is the kind of car that should have ignited collectors passions on this price be damned weekend. In fact it was bought entirely reasobly, which this weekend counts as an astute buy.
