Equipment
4-speed, centerlock wire wheels, red line tires, woodrim steering wheel.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Maintained but grimy engine bay. Old tires. Tired paint and brightwork. Dull interior. Tired looking steering wheel. Old, chipped top frame. Uneven gaps. Not much history represented. A driver quality SI Roadster, which these days almost seems rarer than an immaculately restored car. With values where they are now, this car should really be better.
Market commentary
Sold at Bonhams Greenwich this year for $90,720. That was an appropriate result for an inherently desirable SI 4.2 Roadster in decent condition, so the reported high bid here would be easy to turn down but it is unrealistic for the consignor to expect enough more after the Greenwich result to make it worthwhile to try to flip. It is not a six-figure XKE.
