Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome Borranis, Marchal headlamps. Very high quality 1990 restoration by Bob Smith Coachworks, has been used since, but still in excellent overall condtion and well presented. Very nice LWB, covered headlight example.

Market commentary

It takes a very high quality restoration to last this long, survive the Colorado Grand and other driving events, and still look this fresh. The money for the early LWB cars is right around $500,000; the bid was enough for this car, even as nice as it is.
