Additional auction description:
Registration No. SSU 811 Chassis No. 647333 Engine No. Z3127 Burgundy over black with white hood and dark red interior. Left hand drive.
This example was imported to the UK in the late 1980s, following a period of restoration in America. It was offered for sale at Christie's Summer Vintage auction in 1989 where it was acquired by the present owner.
Today the car has a somewhat aged appearance and it is clear that any work carried out whilst in America was largely cosmetic, rather than a thorough rebuild. As a result, the car is worthy of careful inspection and in Christie's opinion notable areas that need attention are the base of both doors and the wings.
Accordingly, the car is offered at a modest price level for its model, and so represents a usable project, which can be progressively improved upon.
