History
Carlos Sainz Limited Edition No. 29 of 150. 2nd owner 2002 - 2008
Purchased in completely stock condition, I did alot of reconditioning/restoration work and mild enhancements to suspension and exhaust, as listed below, in keeping with the collectability of this rare vehicle. Handling was superb after the suspension improvements, and the exhaust sounded awesome (and not too loud)! Was very sad to have to sell in 2008.
