Equipment
Chrome wire wheels, welded louvers, outside latch. An older restoration to like new condition with good paint, interior and chrome. Some miles and road grime under the hood but still appealing, with good eyeball appeal.
Market commentary
This car is in essentially the same condition it was when RM sold it in Arizona in 2003 for $47,300, and probably the same as when Mecum offered it here in 2009 with a high bid of $65,000. The seller hit a home run, but the buyer got one of the very earliest XKEs, with its pure Malcolm Sayer design, at an appropriate price. The result is fair to both buyer and seller.
