Market commentary
Mistral sports Frua coachwork, but it is refined and sleek Frua rather than fussy Frua of earlier designs. The Mistral's 255hp was no match for competing models from Ferrari but was reliable and capable of 150 mph top speeds. Offered here without reserve this Mistral fell right through the floor with this result, a bargain of notable proportions. It may have been overlooked, but it sets a staggeringly low benchmark for the model and the new owner can be proud of the car and particularly proud of its advantageous purchase. The replacement engine is irrelevant in the context of this result.
