As stated on its plate from the make’s French importer Royal Elysees – Ch. Delecroix, this example is one of the rare models sold new in France. First registered on the 20th May 1965, it was then registered in Paris in 1990 and owned by a resident of the 17th district. Attracted by its exotic appearance and as a major enthusiast of English cars, Jean-Pierre Nylin acquired it in 2008. The bodywork was previously repainted and the faux leather upholstery redone. Inside this left-hand drive car, you’ll find the complete dashboard, the speedometer graduated in km/h and the optional Moto-Lita steering wheel; it has a mileage of 4,598 km (it displayed 4,573 km on the odometer during the last roadworthiness inspection in 2014). After some care, a restart and a complete overhaul, its new owner will be able to enjoy an unusual convertible, fitted with a high-performance 2.5-litre V8 engine, making it an easy car to drive. 

Buyers are informed that all vehicles in the collection have seen limited use in recent years, having been part of a museum display. They are therefore sold as-is, require restarting, are not covered by a valid roadworthiness inspection, and will need full recommissioning before being driven on public roads.
