Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

4-speed, Becker Mexico radio, split front seats, body color accented wheel covers, whitewall Silvertown tires, sliding sunroof.

Condition

Fair old paint, worn interior, cracked varnish on the interior wood, erratic chrome. All there, an honest, solid, dry, well preserved car with a single owner since the early 90's.

Market commentary

Fairly nasty, but with plenty of potential, albeit realized at great cost, this 'Adenaur' still has class and distinction. Similarly nasty Rolls-Royces of the period sell for more and are destined to sit outside mediocre restaurants trying to impart class to their over-priced menus. This is a better automobile and can still be driven with some pride, particularly at this price.
