This car sat in a private collection after its Cavallino Platinum
Award before being acquired by us in the spring of 2024. We did a
full major service to the car, including all the mechanicals. We
went through the entire fuel system including the fuel lines and
carburetors, all new seals, all new fluids, brake hoses, and
correct reproduction Michelin tires. During our service we found
the current dashboard material to be incorrect so we removed the
dash and had the original mouse hair material installed on the
dash.

kit, wheel chock, triangular emergency flares and flannel wiping
cloth. During the restoration, the original door panels were
replaced, and they were saved; these will also accompany the
