Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome wheels. Open the engine cover and this Convertible D looks like new. Elsewhere the story was different. Lumpy drivers door bottom, frosted with Bondo (or multiple layers of paint), chassis painted without stripping old undercoat, gloppy thick paint. Good interior. Normal engine in the correct sequence.

Market commentary

RM worked hard to sell this car after it crossed the auction block in the face of a distinct lack of interest. A desirable model that deserves better treatment.
