Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Becker multi band radio. Sound but thick paint, very good chrome, worn, creased and surface cracked origil interior. A 3 owner car, never restored. Repainted at least once and very shiny. Chrome looks like it was redone. Interior is used but carefully preserved. Dirty chassis and down in the engine compartment recesses but a sound and most importantly honest drum brake Roadster.

Market commentary

This looks like stupendous money, until the dilapidated, beat, tired and non running Gullwing that brought $240,500 last weekend in Greenwich is placed up against it. Then it begins to look like a bargain. It isnt, but its one nice Roadster for which a generous price was paid.
