About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Very good paint other than a sizable crack on the right front fender and a small scratch on the tail. Good exterior plastic. Very good interior, but there is light wear and general age showing on the seats and some light wear on the window trim. Other than a few small signs of its age, it's a remarkably preserved and babied car with just 18,075 km on it. Not California emission compliant.

Market commentary

M1s have been steadily moving up in price since 2009, and this result suggests that these are still upwardly mobile and there is a meaningful originality premium baked into this M1's result. Other M1 offerings in Monterey this year, however, don't necessarily corroborate that claim.
