About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Put in a museum collection for the last 15 years after a body off restoration. Reported to have been maintained and not just a static display. It presents like a very fresh car and has immaculate wood, excellent interior and lots of eyeball. The door fit is slightly off, the hinges on the rear doors have some rust coming through and there are a few small cracks in the paint around the drip rail, but nags aside this is a very pretty example that would be the darling of many a British car meet.

Market commentary

It is at least as cute as a Fiat Jolly, has more power and is even more unusual which makes the price in this consistently maintained condition a sound value.
