Equipment
Chrome spoke Borrani wire wheels, Marchal headlights, Marchal fog lights in grille.
Condition
First owned by Prince Vittorio Emanuele di Savoia, pretender to the throne of Italy. Restored by Bob Smith in 1982 and converted to its present covered headlight configuration and livery. Good repaint except for lifting in rear fender creases. Excellent fresh upholstery. Chassis repainted over old undercoat, which is less than reassuring.
Market commentary
Offered by RM here in 1998, a no sale at a reported bid of $510,000, then sold here in 2008 for $3,630,000. No longer fresh and with some minor defects showing up, the price here is much more realistic than the 2008 result.
