Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Cosmetically handsome and impressively built with the best of everything and seemingly maintained in extraordinary condition, but this is a flat floor welded louver early XKE that is arguably worth even more when restored back to its original configuration.
Market commentary
In the meantime it should be so much fun to drive whether on track or on the street (if the Authorities allow) that it deserves to be kept as it is. It will never be originally configured again which limits its restored value and would be impossible to recreate in its current configuration for the price it brought here, much less the modest $85,120 it brought at RM’s Covid-stimulus fueled Elkhart auction in 2020.
