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.
