Equipment
2,953/260hp, 4-speed, 4-point belts, rollbar, chrome spoke Borrani wire wheels, Michelin tires, covered Marchal headlights, outside fuel filler, single-vent sail panel.
Condition
Successfully raced in 1959 by Bob Grossman and Walter Luftman in SCCA events at Lime Rock, Montgomery and Bridgehampton. Restored by European Auto Restorations in the 80's for Yoshiyuki Hayashi. Restored again in 2006. Excellent paint and (very blue) interior. The chassis and engine compartment are gorgeous. Restored in 2006 but looks like it was last year.
Market commentary
Sold at RM Monterey in 2005 for $1,457,500 before its most recent restoration(s) and with an important career in U.S. racing when new, this is a satisfying result for an historic TdF.
