About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Fully restored in 2007, the car looks like new inside and out. Nearly impossible to find anything wrong with this vehicle.

Market commentary

In a world where Fiat 500 and 600 Jollys sell for near $100,000, the rarity and bulletproof provenance of this car have to make it one of the most desirable beach cars to own. Of course you could buy a Moke for about a fifth of this price, but it doesn’t have the same charm. Price must be considered market correct.
