Launched in 1971, the Baur-designed 2002 Cabriolet featured a sturdy rollover hoop separating the detachable targa panel at the front from the rear folding hood.

The Cabriolet suffered only a slight weight penalty with no discernible loss of performance and total RHD production reputedly amounted to 354 cars (260 of which sported ‘round taillights’).

Finished attractively in 'Chamonix' White with black leather upholstery and black 'Baur' top, chassis 2791022 was built to right-hand drive specification and UK registered in April 1973.

Understood to have spent a good proportion of the 1980s and 1990s in Valencia with a previous keeper, the dry climate would have helped preserve its structure.

Sourcing parts from marque specialists Jaymic and Linwar and using the services of I.K.

Classics and Marriott Auto Services, the vendor has had attention paid to the braking system (front discs, callipers, servo, master cylinder), clutch master cylinder and carburettor.
