An Italian-market car sold new through a Verona dealer, it was factory-equipped with a limited-slip differential and remained in Italy for approximately four decades before passing through Luxembourg and Belgian ownership, during which its numbers-matching engine and mechanical fuel-injection system were overhauled.
