Overview & equipment.

64 options · factory build sheet

Restored to concours standard in 2019 and shown, never raced. The matching-numbers 427 side-oiler starts on the first turn — every receipt since 1965 is in the file.

Avava inspection team

One owner, garaged in Beverly Hills and never tracked. Full front PPF from new, every service done at the Sportcar dealer — it drives like the day it left Affalterbach.
