Sold to a high bid of $16,750 or $17,588 with buyer fee. Not sure how this auction snuck through. The price was even less than a comparable S52.

We last saw this roadster for sale over a decade ago. It has a little over 3k new miles since then. I don't love the 19" Dare wheels, but it looks like the original are included too. Bidding up to $10,100.00 so far.
