Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Body color steel wheels, blackwall Dunlop Road Speed tires, hinged steering wheel, belly pans. Restored like new by RM in 2007 with excellent cosmetics. Just a little dust and oily mist in hard to reach places.

Market commentary

Sold at Barrett Jackson in 2006 as a 56,037 mile car in original condition in red with red plaid interior for $372,600. Its character has subtly changed with the changes to the color and interior material but it is prettier in black. This is Gullwing money today, a recognition of their quality, performance and the milestones they were in postwar sports car development.
