275 N.A.R.T. Spyder found in Cross River, NY

The display license plate is from the House of Cars Curated Garage Tour and Gala Celebration, which took place in September, 2015. The tour began at Miller Motorcars, visited the garages of five different private collectors in the area, and ended at Collector's Car Garage in Bedford Hills. I assume this car was displayed as part of the tour. Unfortunately, I don't have a list of cars displayed or garages toured.

My feeling is this is probably a cut berlinetta, but it's still an impressive sighting.

Usually a sign of an unexpected mechanical breakdown. AAA is still the quickest way to get a precious automobile off the side of the road.

 

Don't judge based on the flatbed tow. After all, even if it's only a NART conversion, it's current value is well into seven figures. And I've seen more valuable cars flatbedded! We're not talking about cross-country transport here; sometimes you've just got to get the thing moved quickly and easily.

Without regard for the method of transport, I still agree this is likely a converted berlinetta. Only two true NARTs are garaged in that area and wearing red paint today, and I can quickly eliminate one. I haven't seen the other in recent years, so I'm not sure of it's current configuration (outside mirror, NART badge). Even so, odds are this is a cut car. If I can free up some time over the coming weekend, I'll see if I can't get a positive ID and pin down the s/n for you guys.

 

Of course. Corrected, thanks!

 

I believe the car spotted here is most likely 10473, and if I'm correct, then it has lost the driver's side exterior mirror in recent years.

 

Precisely. And Darien is approximately 10 miles from Miller Motorcars (where this event began) and 20 miles from both Bedford Hills (where the event ended) and Cross River (where the photograph was taken).

 

By the way, verified the car as 10473. Currently under the care of a well-known shop in that same area:
