About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Very clean engine bay. Several long scratches on the dull front bumper. Tired front badge. Long paint crack below the left headlight. Driver's side door sticks out at the bottom. Window frames are dull and lightly scratched. Lightly scratched, dull rear bumper. Excellent interior. Clean underbody. Basic restoration done a while ago but its flaws detract little from the inherent beauty and coolness of these cars. A solid choice for driving events and long cruises.

Market commentary

Offered at RM's London auction in September 2014 where the high bid was reported to be $217,904. Not surprisingly it didn't sell here on a bid some $78,000 less.
