Equipment
Painted centerlock wire wheels, Pirelli P4 tires, tonneau cover, Grant leather-wrapped steering wheel, wood shift knob.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Dull, lightly scratched chrome and pitted brightwork. Dull windshield frame and rubber gaskets. Very good seats and dash. Cracked steering wheel cap. The bottom of the "T" in the Midget badge on the tail has broken off. Decent older paint with a handful of chips and scratches throughout. Has numbers on it, but there's no roll bar, it has a full interior, and it doesn't look like it has led the life of a competition car. Maybe it's done a few rallies or autocrosses, but that's probably it. A cute and attractive driver that looks fantastic at 20 feet.
Market commentary
Spridgets are still just about the most affordable way to get into classic sports car ownership, but the bidders at Mohegan Sun got a little bit carried away and the buyer overshot it by two or three grand. For this money, you could get a decent chrome bumper MGB, which is a whole lot more car.
