The Story:

It is a 72 Sportomatic model. It has electric windows and a 6 speaker Philips radio/cassette from 1972. The car is originally French, but was imported into the UK and was owned by a member of the Rothschild dynasty for a period in the early 90s. I acquired the car in December 2000.

The car has fresh paint, 930 tie rods and valve covers and a wonderful MOMO Prototipo wheel. Recaro seats are out of an 80s Opel Manta - originals have lost all their support.

It has optional Tinted windows, rear window demister (horizontal), wing mounted fog lamps, chrome bumper guards and 6jx15 Fuchs. There is also an electric aerial but I doubt that is factory installed. Certainly the sound system for ’72 must have been very expensive!
