Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Cafe racer modified with hard passengers tonneau, headrest, wraparound plexi windscreen. Knockoff wheels. Hood badly needs its two straps to overcome the lift from the 3 4 gap in the front. Clean and fun, but neither a race nor street car: a cafe racer.

Market commentary

Fully priced as a twin cam, this cars faux racer modifications put it in the shaky middle ground between a stock twin cam and a real historic racer. It is neither and will cost real money to become either. Not exactly underwater, but destined for a life struggling to breathe.
