Predominantly handmade, the Mark II was a product of exceptional craftsmanship. Only the very finest materials were used throughout and the instrumentation displayed the precision of a finely crafted watch. Only 444 were built in 1957 at a cost of nearly $10,000.

This example has been repainted, partially re-chromed, plus the entire interior has been redone. The engine has been meticulously maintained and starts effortlessly. The starter and generator have been rebuilt. Additionally, service has included the carburetor overhaul, timing set, new igniter, replaced original belts, new fuel tank hoses, cleaned fuel tank, radiator overhaul, water pump overhaul, new vent hoses, new fuel filler hose, radiator cap replace, new transmission seal kit and new vacuum lines. This is one of the uncommon examples air conditioned from new; the system has been removed, but the components accompany the car.
