Silver with the multiple colored seats were one of the more popular combinations for the comfort version of this vehicle. This car was originally delivered in Japan to a collector who purchased two. At the time of importation, the car had 2,395 km. The car was imported through the experts at Canepa. Canepa had VDO convert the odometer to US Spec and to show miles accordingly. Canepa is at the top of the class when it comes to restoration and conversion. They have also modified the suspension from the factory Komfort to a S equivalent.

Oh my!

 

Good Lord if I only had the means. AMAZING!!

 

There are ways around the registration issue(s)

 

hnnnnnnnnng

 

Stunning

 

Mild childhood dream car and still is today. Very nice!

 

excuse my ignorance, but wouldn't this car fall into the older than 25yrs old category? it was my understanding that cars not available in the US market could be legally registered after 25yrs. or is that not right?

 

that's right 25 year rule applies

 

The ad mentions Canepa modified the speedo and suspension. Did Canepa also perform the engine upgrades they offer for this car?

 

Everything else remained stock except for the S upgraded suspension. According to the owner, even registration as a historic won't get around SMOG regulations.

 

love it!

 

Bruce Canepa can legalize it with his conversion/DOT program.

 

I believe this is correct, but requires major modification to the exhaust. This owner didn't want to change the car that much from original. This is a super rare car with low miles as well as being a 2 owner. This isn't something you find typically. Gooding and Co just auctioned one off in Amelia island that was estimated to sell for 1.2 million. Had multiple owners and was not in as good of condition as this one.

 

What a nice looking vintage go fast toy!!!! GLWS!!!!
