About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Represented as matching numbers. The paint is in very good condition, showing no significant damage. The engine compartment is aged and grimy, as is the underbody. The interior exhibits usage and the seat upholstery is stretched. An older restoration that presents well and has clearly been driven and enjoyed.

Market commentary

Like E-Types, Gullwings have been on the soft side for the past year or so. This result is spot on for the condition. It's also Bonhams' most expensive car at Scottsdsale 2025, as well as the only one to break seven figures.
