Equipment
Chrome spoke Borrani wire wheels, Avon blackwall radials, covered Marchal headlights and grille mounted fog lights, no bumpers, velocity stacks, cold air box, partial tool roll, bumpers included.
Condition
First owned by Italian designer Gianfrance Frattini, featured in a cameo in Vittorio De Sica's 'Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow' with Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni. Good recent repaint, lightly worn older interior. Minor polishing scratches and fair bright trim. Engine compartment is orderly. Chassis and underbody are unrestored and generally grimy. A surprisingly delightful car that hasn't felt the restorer's touch, just been kept up and used carefully.
Market commentary
On one hand this is a generous price for this Cal Spyder's condition, on the other hand it is precisely valued for its benign history and originality, a combination that isn't likely to turn up again any time soon even though this is the second one in similar condition that Gooding has had in the past nine months. If anything 2871GT is in better condition than 3095GT sold at Pebble Beach in August and it changed hands at a modest premium to the earlier car. A car to be proud to own, drive and continue to preserve, even at this price.
