The car is presented very well with wire wheels and bright chrome.
The bodywork is in perfect condition, and the paintwork has a uniform, high-quality patina.
The hood is like new and the car comes with its hard top (rare).
Inside, aside from the VHRS adaptations, the original dashboard is in excellent condition.
The instrumentation is functional. The door trims are in very good condition. The bucket seats show some wear.
Many works were undertaken in 2017 to improve performance and to adapt it for potential VHRS rallies and other regularity events.
At the same time, a complete engine rebuild was carried out. This restoration was performed by DELLI ZOTTI sport for a total of €36, 000.
