Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Low line Cooper, restored like new with 2.7 liter Tasman Climax FPF. Raced by Bob Stilwell in the Antipodes with good results. Colotti 5 speed. Crashed in 1964, subsequently restored to historic race specification and used for several seasons. Race ready.

Market commentary

Its not surprising that this bid was declined, even though the catalog photos clearly indicate the current owner is about 1 1 2 times too tall for the car. The bid should be about 1 1 2 times more, too.
