Equipment
3168/150hp, 4-speed, Rudge wheels, whitewalls, hardtop, Becker Europa radio, books and tools.
Condition
The 110th of 253 built, and a desirable Series II model with a roomier interior and front disc brakes. Delivered to a German businessman in Venezuela. Spent most of its life in Europe. Restored in the 2000s. Replacement engine and gearbox. Good paint and lightly aged chrome. Very clean underneath. Mildly aged leather. Small crack in the steering wheel. Let down by its lightly aged restoration and non-original drivetrain, but still a beautiful and highly desirable car.
Market commentary
Although it was a commercial failure when new and a relatively undervalued classic until fairly recently, the 507 has been a seven-figure collector car for a decade or so. Very good examples have even been bringing $2M or more in recent years, so the price for this one was strong given its shortcomings. Then again, it was a $2M no-sale at Pebble Beach in 2021 and a $2,067,500 sale in Scottsdale two years ago, so the market clearly considers it a $2M car.
