- Fitted with a hardtop

- Rare “1 ½” series

- Interesting restoration project

- No reserve

This particular elegant Roadster is from the Series 1 but is unofficially referred to as the Series 1 ½, as it introduced certain design changes from the Series 2, such as non-covered headlights and a new interior, whilst still using Series 1 parts (bumpers, slim indicators, etc.). This transitional model is quite rare and this particular car comes with a rare hardtop. It was purchased by the current owners’ father in April 1989 from an enthusiast in the Haute-Marne region who had owned it since 1987. In a lovely sky-blue colour with a blue interior, this beautiful roadster took part in the Coupe des Alpes in 1997 and 2001, an event that was fondly appreciated by its owner. Having been off the road since 2008, it will need to be restarted and given a full service before hitting the road again. In a homogeneous condition, this interesting 4.2-litre version will appeal to enthusiasts looking for a restoration project, as these are rarely found nowadays.
