Equipment
3,929/375hp V-12, 5-speed, air conditioning, power windows, telephone dial bolt-on wheels, Cinturato P7 tires, cassette stereo.
Condition
Essentially totally original and barely touched showing 13,787 probably original kilometers. Good original paint with some stone chips and scuffs. Curb rashed wheels. Loose passenger side mirror, broken driver's quarter window. Minor wear on the seats. Bright, crisp gauges. Dusty original engine compartment with paint loss on the cam covers. Barely aged or used original chassis and underbody. Static displayed since 1987 in the Petitjean Collection and will need comprehensive mechanical restoration but cosmetically it's nearly pristine and shouldn't be touched.
Market commentary
Bid to Euros 340,000 and 29 bids with a dozen minutes remaining on the closing clock, the fuse was lit as time got short with this Euros 410,000 successful bid coming on a total of 35 bids. Passion seems to reign even online in the time of COVID-19 and this is a generous, really generous, result for an LP400S even with just 13,787 km.
