Would somebody please give this orphan car a good home? I purchased this neat car about 25 years ago and sold it a few years later. I tracked it down about 15 years ago and was able to buy it back. During that time the original cream color was changed to yellow. It has been part of my fleet of "picture cars " in Los Angeles and has appeared in several commercials and TV series (see www.eurofilmcars.com ). 6 cyl OHV engine. 82 b.h.p. 4 speed column shift. Runs and drives fine. Virtually rust free California car apart from some paint bubbling on the lower rear fenders and the trunk lid (see photo). No accident damage and most importantly has all the stainless trim intact. Original interior needs to be re-done completely. One of probably only a handful in the US and much rarer than the base 1800 model. Speedo reads 41014 miles but this is probably not the correct mileage although the wear on the pedals would not suggest 100,000 miles more (?!). Brake hydraulics were sent to Italy for overhaul. Car has 4 drum brakes. Hub caps are new. Comes with the owner's manual. Clear California title in my name. DMV "planned non-op" so no CA back fees due. You are welcome to visit in Tarzana (San Fernando Valley part of Los Angeles). Please call 818 705 8655. In the past year I have done the following: Flushed and rodded the radiator $90. Rebuilt the starter $90. New tail lights from Italy $150. Brake and clutch master cylinders overhauled in Italy $400. New clutch slave cylinder $130. Rebuilt carburetor $165. 4 new hub caps from Italy $140. Rebuilt all wheel cylinders. In my attempt to save this really cool car I have spent over $2000 in parts and labor. I have a lack of crucial space in Los Angeles and have to reluctantly sell some cars that do not get used often in my picture car business. I have quite a bit invested in this car but am willing to take a loss now that I have enjoyed owning it. It worked 3 months ago on a film called "Liz and Dick" with Lindsay Lohan. I have put a very fair reserve price.
