About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Unique two-passenger coachwork among eight bodied by James Young as drophead coupes. Decent chrome. Very good paint overall with a few small chips. Lightly worn seats. Even gaps. Shown at Amelia Island in 1998. A unique, gorgeous car with 37,490 miles from new that has seen some use.

Market commentary

This two-seater is especially distinctive with the top erected over the compact 2-seat passenger compartment, a carsure to attract plenty of double-takes even among other Silver Clouds. Closed post-block at this price, it will bring its new owner pride and satisfaction in both the car and the price paid for it.
