Under front light

Has been set up and carbs balanced but could be even better with rolling road
Car is solid but now needs someone to catch bad points , keeping original panels
This is a very rare model with good history , low mileage , original parts and some upgrades ( all of which can be reversed)
It is a fun and quick car, the carbs and exhaust sound amazing , it handles great with new shocks ( not bone shaking stiff)

I have original 998 block and head ( just block and head) ... can negotiate 998/ 1330 depending on what you prefer
