Polaroid 660 Transparent
The Polaroid 660 Transparent is an instant film camera with a clear-bodied variant of Polaroid's folding 600-series rangefinder design. It was produced as a promotional or display version of the standard 660, retaining the autofocus and built-in flash arrangement of the regular model.
Sales data for the 660 Transparent is thin, but a single UK auction hammer result in October 2025 saw an example sell for £504, indicating that as of 2026 the clear-body variant is worth substantially more than a standard 660. Because this is a wholesale saleroom price rather than a retail figure, dealer asking prices today can sit higher, and the value is highly condition- and completeness-sensitive given how rarely these come up.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Polaroid 660 Transparent worth today?
On the only recorded UK auction result, a 660 Transparent hammered at £504 in October 2025, so current value sits around that level for a clean working example, though scarcity means individual sales can vary widely.
How much does a Polaroid 660 Transparent sell for compared to a standard 660?
The transparent variant sells for a clear premium over the regular black 660, with the recorded £504 hammer price well above typical prices for the standard model.
Why is the 660 Transparent priced higher than a normal 660?
It was produced in far smaller numbers as a clear-body variant, and collector demand for unusual Polaroid display versions pushes the price above that of the standard production camera.
