Equipment
ZF 5-speed, power windows, chrome spoke Borrani wire wheels, Michelin XWX tires, Carello headlights.
Condition
Older clearcoat repaint, good interior and chrome. Wiper scratched windshield and scratched passenger's window. Several surface rust blisters under the paint and cracked paint on the driver's door. Front bumper and side window trim rechromed over visible repairs. Original undercoat repainted. Orderly engine in an old compartment with peeling paint. Not the best Mistral, but not the worst, either.
Market commentary
Sold by RM in Paris eleven months ago for $198,216 meaning the consignor dropped $18,000 or so after Bonhams' sellers' commission. Considering the car's condition issues and lack of any support for mechanical attention in its file this is tantamount to a home run. A bullet dodged is one deflected to the next owner.
