Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Blaupunkt multiband radio, factory woodrim steering wheel, clock (works), Grey headliner, chrome wheels. Excellent cosmetics throughout. Flat panels, even gaps, flush fits. Better than new. Bulb headlights with Bosch covers. NOS unnumbered engine case, original transaxle, correct original colors. Meticulously and completely restored without destroying its accuracy and appeal. A wonderful car.

Market commentary

The consignors decision to keep the car in preference to the money is warranted, but barely. The 15% gap between buyers and sellers expectations is pretty small especially as it could have been made much smaller by the auction company giving back part of the buyers premium. Sometimes, though, a car means so much to the seller theyre fixated on getting the hammer bid, and getting the expected net after commission just isnt an acceptable alternative.
