DETAILED INFORMATION: This fun-in-the-sun droptop Italian convertible is the essence of a classic roadster. With body lines by famed Italian design house Pinnafarina, his little red sports car is a beauty to the eyes. Originally purchased by me in 2010, his car has seen a partial restoration and a whole host of improvements.

Seat belts – the current seat belts are functional but the release action and lack of a smooth release from the winding mechanism can be irritating at times; the condition seems to come and go at random, o new driver’s side and passenger side seat belts might be a needed future improvement 4. Air Conditioning – the A/C compressor has not been charged with refrigerant, o the operation of the system is unknown PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE If you would like to arrange a time to take a closer look at the car and possibly a test drive, lease send me a text message (972-998-4646) or e-mail. I will contact serious buyers to coordinate a viewing. Prospective buyers should bring a copy of their driver’s license and proof of insurance if a test drive is desired. I have put a significant of money and labor into this vehicle over the last 5 years, o this is not a “buy it and flip it scenario”. Please respect the restoration process and only contact me if you are truly interested and can afford to purchase this car.
