Equipment
Chrome spoke Borranis, grille mounted fog lights. Excellent paint, interior and chrome. Sympathetically restored like new, with better paint. Even gaps, flush panels. Separated from its original engine for many years but reunited in 1988 during a Motion Products restoration which also refitted the original cold air box around the carbs and re installed front drum brakes. Repainted in the current color and new interior fitted by Paul Russell & Company in 2002. Impossible to fault.
Market commentary
As things were going for Cal Spiders at Monterey last summer this is something of a bargain although in historical terms it still represents a seven figure leap in recent years. This is, however, what it takes to own a good Cal Spider today and both the buyer and the seller should be satisfied with the transaction. It took David Goodings personal intercession on the phone with the successful bidder to get the transaction done.
