History
This car left the factory in November 1964.
It was delivered to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and was sold on in 1966 to someone who moved to Massachusetts and kept it until 2010.
It was re-imported to France and restored by a bodywork specialist who did a wonderful job on the bodywork but did not have time to finish it.
The current owners have completed the restoration (their second restoration).
