Equipment
Ronal alloy wheels, Falken tires, dual wing mirrors, spotlight on the roof, leather hood strap, dash clock, VDO gauges, sunroof, headlight stone guards, woodrim steering wheel.
Condition
Rally prepped with bored cylinders and rebuilt crank. Very good silver metallic paint. Slightly dull bumper chrome. Tidy engine bay. Very good interior. Almost too pretty to take on the vintage rally circuit, but just almost. A neat and unusual car for the eccentric who wants to do vintage driving events and stand out with funky styling, front drive and a two-stroke engine. The rally accessories might not be to everyone's taste, but they could all be removed relatively simply.
Market commentary
While this car has a lot of personality and got lots of attention all week, the target audience for actually buying it in Indy was quite small and would be anywhere. The car was deservedly bid up high thanks to its remarkable condition, but it could have sold at this price.
