Seller's description:

This example was restored in the early 2000s and has been very well maintained ever since. Where many were imported from America, this one is of European origin since it was delivered in 56 in the Netherlands to a Ferrari importer. It comes out of a considerable batch of work at the end of 2022, and is ready for new adventures.

State :

Exterior: The bodywork is in excellent general condition, carefully restored 20 years ago. The chrome has also been restored. The spoked rims are new, as is the soft top.

Interior: The upholstery is nicely patinated. The walnut dashboard is in excellent condition. The electrical harness was obviously redone during the restoration, the wiring is modern. All on-board instruments are functional.

Mechanical: The engine underwent a complete overhaul in 2011. It is in excellent working condition. The car starts and runs well both hot and cold. The car revs well and the gear changes are good.
