This car is a well-sorted ERA build from 1997 that has had two owners. I purchased the car from the previous owner who resided in Corona del Mar California and used the car for jaunts up and down the PCH. I have enjoyed the car for the past 5 years and my restoration business is rolling out alloy roadsters now so it is time to part with the FIA.

This car is docile enough to drive in traffic or around town cruising on a date night but potent enough for a spirited drive down a country lane and canyon road or a track day.

A great deal of effort was made to make sure that the details on this particular car were as correct as possible from the body fittings and badges to the gauges handbrake seats and pedal assembly. This car drives as good as it looks. It is ready to get in and go and has covered right at 12442 miles since its construction; ensuring that it is well-sorted and ready to go but not tired and in need of attention. This car is ready to go and will provide a rewarding driving experience rivaled only by the real thing! This car is often mistaken for the real thing and has won awards at every show it has competed in.

I am selling this car from my personal collection and am not a dealer… I have several contacts for both national and international shippers if needed. Inspections are encouraged and welcomed by appointment where the car is located in Louisville 40223. It’s been a real pleasure to own and drive thanks for looking!
