Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Replacement engine of the correct 60hp type as fitted when new (E005075). Decent 90s restoration to the standards prevalent at the time. Some erratic hood and passenger door gaps, good paint and vinyl interior, clean engine compartment. Competently restored and presented but in todays environment would be considered only a sharp, presentable driver and not up to concours standards. No Reserve.

Market commentary

Speedster prices seem still to be on track to go into low earth orbit soon. Catalog writers and estimate setters cant seem to keep up and only the bidders feel the urge to bid whatever it takes to own a Speedster (even one with a replacement engine.) It all sounds ominously familiar, like speculators touting California real estate two years ago.
