15. 18,075 at purchase and 20,011 today.

16. U.S. model

17. It has euro bumpers as well as euro style side running lights replaced the originals.
(the original rectangular lights are huge and hideous the small round euro style look right.)

18. Front and rear conversion of both the bumpers and side lights were completed.

19. Most all of the interior has been replaced with a beautiful Charcoal leather and new wool carpets.
(except for the headliner) The entire car was painted a deep Ruby Russo. Car looks and runs as new.

20. This car is now one of the best sorted low mileage examples and one of if not the only to have visually
been converted to what the design was intended to look like. (bumpers and side lights) The car has been
sorted over the last four years and now everything works as good or better then when it left Italy.

The car has amazing acceleration and speed for an almost 30 year old exotic. It challenges you to relearn
how to drive with the steering and braking dynamics. It's design is very understated and impressive at the
same time. It is one true exotic touring GT that you can actually backup to park.

21. With it's recent restoration the "favorite anecdote" is soon at hand.

22. None as yet.

23. Wicker picnic basket to hold tools, fluids, maps and detailing supplies and maybe a Chianti and a blanket.

24. Keep after the maintenance and keep your foot in the throttle.

25. No, sorry.
