Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Gold painted Cromodora wheels, Michelin XWX tires, Momo steering wheel, power windows, air conditioning, Blaupunkt cassette stereo, dash clock.

Condition

From the Cayman Motor Museum Originally thought to have been silver The early history of this righ hand drive 512 BB isnt known, but it has been with the consignor since 1980 and it shows just 19,532 miles Paint is flaking off the wheels Blemish free but slightly dull paint Worn but presentable interior Presents like the museum car that it is with plenty of eyeball from a few feet away but noticeable shortcomings when you get up close

Market commentary

One of just under a thousand built and long overshadowed by front engined 12 cylinder Ferraris, Boxers are coming into their own, with plenty of potential for further appreciation. This is appropriate money for an odd ball in the US, a righthand drive example. Its best and highest use would be to get some attention to the age and display neglect, then go into a container to head for RM Sothebys London auction later this year where its steering wheel placement would be a strong inducement for a better price.
