    I just have to throw in that this is such an awesome little vehicle. Would that I could. GLWS. Amazing condition, and that such care was taken of it.

    the emblem with the three legs on the rear door is called a Trinacria. A Sicilian thing......... The word Trinacria means triquetra and refers to the shape of the island of Sicily (“Sicilia” in Italian), the largest island in the Mediterranean. Sicily was known by the Romans as Trinacrium, meaning “star with three points”. he three bent running legs represent the three capes of Sicily, Peloro (Punta del Faro, Tip of Faro, Messina: North-East), Passero (Syracuse: South), and Lilibeo(Cape Boeo, Marsala: West), which also creates the three points of the triangle.

    I wish I could. Is it crazy to advertise it in Europe considering the great condition the car is in?

    Have you checked out Bring a Trailer? I've no first hand experience but have heard a bunch of happy stories. Cool little car man - don't let it go for pennies. Good luck.
