Equipment
RHD. 1098/38hp, synchro 4-speed, wheel covers, Kumho tires, wing mirrors.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
From the Maine Classic Car Museum Collection. Good paint and even gaps but there is surface rust on the door hinges and around window frames. Tidy underneath. Heavy wear on the front seat upholstery. Cute as hell even if a little more awkward than the Mini on which it’s based, and in clean, usable driver condition.
Market commentary
Ouch. This car sold in late 2020 for $25,760 at the RM Sotheby's Elkhart Collection sale, an auction held right in the pandemic boom that was full of above-market, sometimes inexplicably high prices. This result, 66% off from the 2020 result, was the opposite. It's half the low estimate and a cute, fun, usable and dirt cheap car for the new owner. The Riley Elf/Wolseley Hornet were luxury spin-offs of the original Mini. They're rarer than Minis while also generally being worth less, but not this much less.
