About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Right vent window frame doesn't fit the windshield post. Mediocre old repaint, weak chrome trim, badly flaking rear bumper center section. Engine internal #320E. Engine compartment painted over flaked old paint many years ago. Wheel wells got the same treatment. Upholstery is lightly stretched. Old top has some abrasion tears where it has rubbed while stowed. Decent old repaint with chips at the hood corners. Badly scuffed driver's door sill plates show far more use than the claimed 5,411 kilometers. A used Ferrari that can be driven, but not too proudly, in this condition.

Market commentary

The visible evidence of wear does not make for willing acceptance of the claimed 5,411 km from new, but it brought a healthy premium for low kilometers anyway, even if not for originality, because it's been repainted both outside and under the hood. The bad vent window frame fit in not a healthy sign, either and it is an expensive Ferrari in its current condition.
