At some point in the late 1970s, the car was exported to the United States (Southern California), where it has remained since that time. It has been given a recent repaint in traditional Rosso Corsa. It has its original black interior, tool set, jack, and books. The car has covered just 41,879 kilometers, or 25,716 miles since new.
