About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Represented as matching numbers. Single ownership until September, 2014. Free of rust or damage, paint is evenly faded but still retains a good tone, marred by edge chips. Seats are surface cracked, dash top is torn, steering wheel is discolored, footwell trim panels are missing, but still a fabulous garage find with the kind of originality that's too important to do any more than dust, tune up and cover up some of the failed trim.

Market commentary

The most expensive 356A Speedster in auction history with a staggering price 17% over the pre-sale high estimate.
