Equipment
Let's give this suspect engine the benefit of the doubt and call it a 1,582/90hp Super 90, 4-speed, reproduction Rudge centerlock alloy wheels,
Condition
Crudely (and I mean crudely) restamped engine number corresponds to an early 1963 Super 90. Trim chrome and the windshield header are pitted and rust spotted. Gauge bezels are pitted and thin, the dashboard paint is older and the dashboard soft trim is old and doesn't fit well. Good carpets and floor mats. The reproduction Rudge wheels are chromed but the centerlock hubs are peeling and rusting. The paint looks decent but given the car's other shortcomings begs for a paint gauge's opinion. The engine compartment is clean, dry and mostly like new with correct carburetor filters. Undercoat brushed on the underside of the tub. A highly suspect car.
Market commentary
The bidding was desultory until the final minutes, sitting at Euros 90,000 with 45 minutes to go and only 100K at 14 minutes. It then accellerated and extended before ending up with this generous result for a car with many questions. The hokey engine stamping has to be seen to be believed.
