Equipment
Chrome Borranis, cold air box. 1959 SCI road test car. Engine numero interno 0186D. Lovely covered headlight Cal Spyder, restored in 1987 to a high standard and still impeccable with only a little patina to give it character. Pat Ryan Collection. No Reserve.
Market commentary
This result is reasonable in todays market where mid $800K prices seem to be the prevailling level. This cars condition and history of caring owners no doubt contributed to bidders confidence. Subsequent information (2002) suggests this cars operating condition may not have been as good as its appearance indicated. Caveat emptor.
