The refurbishment is said to have been completed in 2000 and included repainting the car in its current shade of black. Features include a black soft top, body-color bumpers, a driver-side mirror, chrome trim, a single deck-lid vent, and dual exhaust outlets that exit through the rear bumperettes. The seller reports that replacement high-intensity headlights, brake lights, and turn signals are installed. A chip on the right-front fender is said to have been repainted and there are paint chips on the rear cowl above the engine grille. Exterior blemishes are shown in the gallery below.
Technomagnesio 15″ alloy wheels wear 165-series Michelin XZX radial tires. The four-wheel drum brakes were relined and fitted with new shoes in 2013 and a dual-circuit master cylinder was installed, according to the seller. A spare set of wheels is included in the sale.
The low-back bucket seats were re-trimmed in red prior to the seller’s acquisition and are complemented by color-matching door panels and square weave carpeting that lines the cockpit. The seller notes that a short-shift lever is fitted.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel and green-letter VDO gauges were replaced under current ownership, instrumentation consists of a 7k-rpm tachometer, a 120-mph speedometer, and a combination gauge. The five-digit odometer shows 7k miles, approximately 5k of which have been added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The flat-four engine is said to have been overhauled in 2000 and its displacement increased to 1.9 liters. Additional modifications reportedly include Weber carburetors, an M&W capacitor discharge ignition, and a 12-volt conversion. The seller notes that a full-flow oil system was installed under current ownership. A leak-down test was performed as part of an inspection in October 2022 and the results are shown in the gallery below. The inspection noted that the deck lid hinges need work.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a replacement four-speed manual transaxle reportedly sourced from a 356C and installed in 2000.
