This grand tourer combined high performance with comfort, boasting a well-appointed cabin with leather seats and advanced instrumentation.

Owning this rare classic means embracing the legacy of a car that not only stands out for its distinctive design but also for its exceptional driving experience and pedigree. With only 417 Longchamps produced, you will not easily come across another one.Introducing our 1980 Longchamp. An absolutely stunning example which we found in Italy in beautifully restored condition. She was originally delivered in Italy, where she stayed her whole life. The documents that come with her are very unique. She comes with the original written order form, original invoice, internal factory notes, delivery notes, etc. And all of the original papers, no copies. This gives you a great insight into how she was born. She was optioned with options such as a Blaupunkt radio, air conditioning, electronic ignition, electric mirrors, red tail lights, etc.Finished in this classy 2 tone paint scheme with Grigio Ferro for the bottom part and Argento metallic for the top part. Looking at the transition line you can tell to which extent she was restored. Restoration of such a rare vehicle is no easy feat but the previous owner has done just that. The quality of the paintwork is very good and this transitions throughout the Longchamp.Our favorite way of restoring is leaving certain details all original and that is what has happened here. Such as the interior trim for the most part. You cannot get the same feeling with replacing everything with new parts. The seats are still covered in their original brown leather which is in amazing condition. The Blaupunkt radio is there for those long roadtrips and the sound of the V8 engine once you get to the mountains.Speaking of her V8 engine, she is the original 5.8L V8 engine which is in excellent condition. This is the heart of the beast and gives her even more character. Mated to this V8 engine is a smooth shifting 3 speed automatic gearbox. And if you shift her manually, she really comes alive. Her suspension, brakes, cooling system have all been overhauled to the highest level and are ready for many more fun miles.
