Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Silver wire wheels, suspension uprated to Series II, dual Webers. Rebuilt in the late 80s, class win in 89 90 Pirelli Classic Marathons. Little used since, with only about 2,000 miles since 95. Sound and presentable.

Market commentary

Unsold at Bonhams London December 2001 at a slightly higher estimate. Thoughtfully updated for better performance and a sound value in both pounds and dollars at this price.
