• This first generation Spider has been comprehensively refurbished and is attractively presented in Silver Metallic, benefitting from prior external restoration and retaining the model’s unmistakable wedge profile and unmistakable period presence
• Highly original interior, remarkably well preserved, with excellent seats, smart aluminium gear lever, correct trim and dashboard, and only minor patination consistent with careful ownership
• Well-documented history file extending back to the 1980s, including an impressive collection of invoices and associated paperwork supporting long-term enthusiast care
• Significant expenditure totalling over £13,000, including more than £11,000 invested by the previous owner and a further £2,000 with recognised Montecarlo specialists
• Correct 1,995cc twin-cam engine and 5-speed gearbox, recently serviced and presented within a clean, tidy engine bay reflective of consistent maintenance
• Part of a private collection in recent years, sparingly used and carefully stored, now ready for light recommissioning to realise its full dynamic potential
