According to the seller, the car was originally finished in white and wore a repaint in red at the time of the current owner’s purchase. The body is said to have been disassembled and repainted in its current shade of pale blue in 2012 after the completion of rust repairs on the lower rocker panels.

Cromodora alloy wheels feature Dino-branded center caps and are wrapped in 205/70VR14 Vredestein Sprint Classic tires. The servo-assisted disc brakes were refreshed in 2009 and feature ventilated rotors with yellow-painted calipers at each corner. The four-wheel independent suspension system was rebuilt during 2009 refurbishment work with replacement of the ball joints and bushings. A rebuilt steering rack was installed in 2020 by the seller, who stored and serviced the car for its owner between 2020 and 2022.
The cabin was re-trimmed under current ownership in tan leather with black Daytona-style accents over the seating surfaces. Additional features include black mousehair dash upholstery, black shoulder belts, a gated shifter, and power windows, the latter of which were fitted with replacement motors in 2020.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel was added under current ownership and sits ahead of Veglia Borletti instrumentation including a 270-km/h speedometer, a 10k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 33k kilometers (~20k miles), approximately 2k of which have been added under current ownership. The speedometer was repaired in 2020 along with the oil temperature gauge wiring.
The 2.4-liter Tipo 135CS V6 was overhauled by Auto Bugatti in Dorval, Quebec, in 2009 with work including repairs to the cylinder heads, a combustion chamber, oil pan, and coolant pipes as well as replacement of the piston rings, seals, gaskets, and wiring harness. MSD electronic ignition was installed by the seller in 2020, at which time the triple Weber carburetors and ignition timing were adjusted. Additional work in 2020 included a re-core of the radiator and the replacement of the fuel pump.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transaxle, and the clutch assembly was replaced in 2009. Footage showing the underside of the car is viewable in the video gallery below.
