The door cards are identical to my early 16VT, obviously the gearlever is different, door seals look identical to mine as well.

The carpets appear the same from the photos, just with mats on top.

I don't think it was built earlier than 94 as it has the passenger airbag which was not fitted to early cars, they had a different dash with a larger glovebox.

I might be wrong, but a lot of the ad doesn't tally for me. I just wonder if there's more history.

It looks to be great opportunity for a collector in any case.

From the dealer who is selling the car when I let him know of the Pininfarina connection.

"We are selling the car on behalf of a lifelong italian enthusiast, who is fast approaching having owned 3 figures of italian classics within his lifetime. He's a genuine guy, and no doubt will be dissapointed he's got his information wrong when he purchased the car from a fellow enthusiast in Italy."

Could well have got lost in translation.

Still an interesting car as you say.

The ad has gone. Sold already?

Still there when I looked just now Annie.
