Equipment
Transverse-mounted 365/625hp twin-turbo V8, automatic, CD changer, moonroof, Recaro seats, riveted wheels, Michelin XGT Plus tires, original ownership documents accompanying the car.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Represented with 2,286 miles. One of 17 production W8s ("production" having a specialized meaning when it comes to Vectors.) The paint does not have any significant wear, but the paint around the rivets for the rear window louvers is chipped and the side skirt badging has finish deterioration. The mechanicals have been quickly detailed. Wires have been zip tied to the frame in multiple places. The interior is worn in more than what would be mileage appropriate. A phenomenally interesting car, but the presentation fails to meet expectation for such low miles.
Market commentary
The story of Jerry Wiegert and his Vector dream is far more complicated and colorful, really colorful. Fortunately Preston Lerner journeyed to Palos Verdes to meet the man and recount Wiegert's own version of Vector history. It's in the Hagerty Magazine, or online through a Google search for "Jerry Wiegert". The result here, however, is three times the highest price ever brought by a W8 Twin Turbo at auction, astounding and beyond comprehension.
