HISTORY AND CONDITION
Originally an Italian vehicle, imported into Spain in 2007.
Over the last 10 years, it has been part of a private collection with dedicated mechanical servicing, ensuring consistent maintenance.
In 2019, with around 189, 000 km, preventative work was carried out on the engine.
During this intervention, the following work in particular was completed:
Replacement of all wear-and-tear components
Full overhaul of the timing system
Work on the cylinder heads (valves, guides and seats)
Replacement of all internal engine bearings
Complete replacement of all gaskets and sealing elements
Overall tune-up of the set
After this intervention, the odometer was reset and approximately 8, 000 km have been driven since.
CONDITION ASSESSMENT
This is an example with no corrosion or accident history, with very satisfactory overall operation.
In terms of exterior aesthetics, the vehicle shows a few paint imperfections from use, located across different areas of the bodywork and visible in the photos in the file.
The soft top is in good condition, with no notable defects and correct operation. The hardtop fitment and removal system works properly.
Mechanically and in terms of road manners, the vehicle is in good condition:
Braking system in perfect order (discs and pads)
Shock absorbers in perfect order
Tyres in perfect order
The passenger seat does not move forward or backward via the electric switch. The radio does not work due to the missing unlock code.
