About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

A race car from new, restored in FIA configuration in the Seventies. Very good cosmetics, race liveried and prepared but street equipped.

Market commentary

Not surprisingly this Cobra's many departures from its original configuration are a value handicap. Had it been raced successfully in period in its present FIA specs that might enhance its value, but it wasn't, it doesn't and it won't. Bought on a hammer bid about 15% under the low estimate, this is a realistic compromise.
