Hi David, from what I know, it’s not a fake, it is one of only a handfull built. I think 5 or 7 roadsters were built with the V12. The V12 in ’32 was usually put in limo’s and big sedans.

And ’32 was the last year for a roadster, in ’33 the convertible coupe replaced the roadster as the only 2 passenger car with or without a rumble seat.

This roadster has a lot of items that need to be fluffed up to be a show car.. Some plating is getting old, the engine bay needs detailing, and some other items I can’t remember right now. I don’t believe it needs a lot, but this is what happens at auctions, it only takes two people who have plenty of money, and a strong desire to become the next owner, and the price goes through the roof.
