Certainly one of the cars our collector drove the most, the car now
has over 53,600 km on the clock. The engine - now unleaded
- runs very satisfactorily, the gearbox ratios are precise and the
braking is faultless. The electrical wiring harness is also in very
good condition. After a minor service recently carried out at
Atelier 46, we were entirely satisfied with our test drive.

and a well-kept interior. It's a real coup de coeur for this rare,
high-performance car that's great fun to drive.
