GarageScout Take

Restored bodywork, interior, suspension, and steering, with the body stripped and repainted in two-tone blue and the brightwork re-chromed in 2022. The current owner acquired it in 2018, when ash-wood structural components were replaced and the front suspension and steering were rebuilt with replacement kingpins, rebound springs, damper blades, bronze thrust pads, track rod ends, and drag link. A 2,138cc inline-four was installed in 2015, and the front brakes, rear wheel cylinders, calipers, and generator were replaced or rebuilt in 2020.

Strengths

  • Documented restoration and mechanical work
  • Two-tone blue paint with re-chromed brightwork
  • Rebuilt front suspension and steering
  • Recent brake system work

Watch For

  • Convertible top has shrunk and cannot be fastened on the passenger side
  • One 2012-dated Vredestein tire has sidewall cracking
  • Oil pressure and water temperature gauges are not functioning
  • Titled by engine number, with no factory serial numbers visible on the chassis
