About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Old, dry-looking tires. Sound older paint with light scratches on the right front fender and a big crack near the left front wheel well. Lightly worn carpets. One of three prototype Spiders bodied by Vignale, and finished new in Grigio over Red leather. Sold new in Miami before being completely restored in the 1980s, although the restoration looks newer thanks to only occasional and careful use.

Market commentary

There is a bit of Vignale flair in the check-mark accent flowing back from the front fender vent and the exaggerated haunches of the rear fenders. Condition is an issue, unless a new owner prefers driving to displaying. Returned to its original colors the body contours and details would be displayed to advantage and even after paying a bit more than the reported high bid a new owner would have financial headroom to freshen and repaint it while increasing its value commensurately.
