This car has traveled 41,000 miles since new and has been treated to a restoration that included new paint and minor interior and mechanical work. The car is finished in red with color code DB534 which is an original factory color. The ivory colored hardtop has factory code DB608. The interior is trimmed in Rosser leather in the original 1068 Natural color. The car was delivered from the factory with a clock and Becker Mexico multi-band radio and power antenna. The differential has a 3.64:1-ratio and the engine has an alloy-block. This car was offered for sale at the 2006 Gooding & Company Auction in Pebble Beach, Ca where it was estimated to sell between $375,000-$425,000. It was one of the last items of the day to be sold but still racked in an impressive figure, selling for $396,000.
