This is a Vintage Motorcars 550 Spyder. Bought it in Sept of 2017 (Bone Stock) and I am the 3rd owner. I had it sent to Vintage Motorcars for many upgrades on Oct. 2017 to the way I wanted and was shipped back to me in March of 2018 with all the work completed. Bought it with only 800 miles on the clock and currently has under 2000 miles with the new GPS gauges. The engine is a Type 1 2323cc (160HP at the wheels) with CB Performance parts. The transmission is Rhino case-rated for 300HP. This Spyder carries a desirable SB-100 title which means NO SMOG in CA. Spent well over $40K-All work performed by Greg Leach of Vintage Motorcars.

Planned to upgrade to Type 4 engine when 10,000 miles is reached but other plans in life provoke me to sell.
