Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Yellow wobbly wheels. BMW 2002 engine with dual 45DCOE Webers, Peterson dry sump. Seats old, tired and cracked. Paint is chipped, cracked and lifting. Big chip on left side. Bondo everywhere. Looks like a rat but should run like a bear.

Market commentary

Rated a 4+ last year when offered as it was dragged from Bob Sutherlands barn on flat tires and covered in cobwebs, it was a no sale at $48,000. Still not very attractive, but better than last year. Expectations were vastly reduced and met. It will take plenty of work to be sure its race ready, a good winters project.
