Condition

The car is described as being in good shape with great panels and a nice lustre to the paint. The chromework is also good. The interior is beautifully simple and wonderfully elegant, with the original leather on the front seats being beautifully patinated. However, there are some minor flaws, such as a couple of small paint bubbles on the rear removable wing tops, stained and threadbare carpets, and the need for a new headlining. The owner reports that he has had many parts replaced recently, including the alternator, water pump, radiator, steering rack, suspension spheres, ignition barrel, and many hydraulic components and seals.

No wonder 12,000 advance orders were taken.
It got its futuristic good looks from designer Flaminio Bertoni, while the French aeronautical engineer André Lefèbvre styled and engineered it.
The Paul Magès-developed hydropneumatic suspension might appear complex but it is actually easily understood.
Comprising an engine-driven seven-cylinder axial pump that pressurises a high-pressure regulator and six-nitrogen-filled spheres, the result is a ride that was akin to floating on a magic carpet.
Ridiculously, you can even remove a rear whee...
