Presented in possibly the best specification with classic Carmen Red with a contrasting black leather interior, this example has also had a mechanical restoration by the previous owners; comprehensively undertaken with a photographic record and with all components laid out correctly, photographed and re-assembled. The current owner, an experienced collector and restorer then undertook a further restoration concentrating more on the bodywork, brightwork and ancillaries. An uprated exhaust has also been fitted giving slightly increased performance and exhaust note and, combined with a full one year MoT test certificate, green log book, extensive history folders and photographic record of the mechanical restoration all points to a sound and well-looked after example of what Enzo Ferrari called, "the most beautiful car in the world."
