Equipment
Triple Webers, 5-speed, chrome wire wheels, dual mirrors, woodrim steering wheel, Blaupunkt multi-band radio.
Condition
The chrome is on the tired side but the paint is excellent. The engine bay is essentially spotless but not overly detailed. Very light wear to the front seats but otherwise excellent interior. Converted to LHD in 2005 during restoration and won an award at the AMOC Lime Rock Classic that year with several subsequent awards. A very rare Vantage-spec convertible and that's where most of the value is. Fully restored to appropriately high standards, just done a while ago.
Market commentary
Sold by RM at Amelia in 2012 in comparable condition, showing 1,914 more miles on its odometer today for $1,210,000. Lucky (or insightful) are you who buy advantageously, drive 1,914 miles and then make a profit upon resale six years later. Optimistic are you who turn down a $465,000 capital gain after enjoying the car for six years. The high bid here was realistic and could have been taken, with some satisfaction.
