Good original paint, chrome and interior. Paint is lightly scuffed and occasionally scraped or chipped. Non-original engine installed, but sold with its original engine, recently acquired to complete the equipe. Odd body with a Lusso open-headlight nose and sleek coupe aerodinamica greenhouse and tail. Looks best from the rear 3/4. One of four in similar style.
Market commentary
Highly desirable with its SWB chassis and coupe aerodinamica coachwork by Pininfarina, a car of unusual distinction and style. Its desirability was substantially enhanced by offering it with its original engine, even though it was on a stand next to the car. Lack of significant early ownership is a weakness, and new collectors connect 'SWB' with the rounded, tightly packed regular production SWBs. They missed the boat on this choice example and it is a sound value at this price. The buyer should be very proud of the car and the price paid for it, including the two engines wrapped into the price.
