Equipment
Centerlock alloy wheels, Michelin Defender tires, Sony cassette stereo, power windows.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Mediocre old repaint and chrome. Worn and surface cracked upholstery. Scuffed wheels. Scruffy engine compartment. Tired, used and erratically presented. Represented as recently serviced with new exhaust, shocks and suspension bushings, 15,676 miles from new but it looks like many more than that.
Market commentary
Even allowing for the already pessimistic pre-sale estimate range the bidders saw little encouraging in this Queen Mother and were even more pessimistic about its prospects than Bonhams. Its history is encouraging but it has added under 2,000 miles since its acquisition fifteen years ago, which isn't encouraging at all even with the recent service. This result is reasonable.
