Car has been set up on a rolling road and is set up to pull cleanly from 1500rpm. Power was measured at 130BHP at 5000 rpm with a redline of 8000rpm.
The car did 3,000 miles last summer touring France without a glitch and has been unused since.
She is now ready for a new owner to appreciate her and the sheer driving experience she gives. Between the power, handling, brakes and exhaust note, this is an exceptional car to drive and own.
