Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Silver painted wire wheels, Ruddspeed Stage II Ford inline six with triple SU carbs, overdrive and front disc brakes from new, woodrim steering wheel, heater, radio (with FM conversion). First owned by Ian Fleming, author of the James Bond books. Recently cosmetically redone with new paint but retaining the origil upholstery and rebuilt engine. Excellent paint, good panel fits and chrome.

Market commentary

Unusual, attractive and with an intriguing first owner that will continue to create value. Sold by Brooks in London in 1992 for $37,555 before restoration but in good cosmetic and mechanical condition after front end accident damage (conveniently overlooked today.) The result here is less than a comparable AC engined example could be expected to bring and allows nothing for history. Well bought.
