This remarkable right hand drive example has been cherished for its entire life. On close inspection the underside shows no signs of previous welding or corrosion, due partly to the vehicle having been Ziebart rustproofed by the first owner. The subsequent owner kept the car in dry storage and only used it occasionally in good weather, only selling the car due to emigrating. The next owner, a midlands based car collector, acquired it in 2014 having previously owned a 130 Coupe. It shared garage space with other Italian exotica including Lamborghini's. Hence the last major service being carried out by renowned Lamborghini Specialists Colin Clarke Engineering.
Designed by Pininfarina they are in my opinion perhaps the most elegant coupe of the era, even Enzo Ferrari drove one in period! Having cover only 18, 000 miles from new this must be one of the very finest examples in existence today and RHD too.
