Sold for $280,500 with yet more description:
The first-series Roadster offered here is noted on its JDHT Certificate, a copy of which is on file, as being a matching-numbers car with its original body, chassis, and engine. It was freshly restored by the consignor and refinished in its original color, Silver-Blue, with its interior changed from black to the present dark blue. The hardtop was refinished in the body color, and six-inch-wide wire wheels shod in Michelin tires were mounted. Mechanically, the car has been upgraded with an alloy radiator, a large fan (to avoid cooling problems), and a differential rebuilt with 3.23:1 gears, while a 15-inch steering wheel allows more room for the driver. The consignor believes that the 56,000 miles showing are original.
