"One of only 14 produced with a five speed in America"

Why do words like that make me want it more?

 

Funny you should ask. That's identical to mine except my interior is magnolia. Autosports has one on e-bay with a starting bid of 40K and no reserve. That's less than I paid in 2004 so I'm underwater.
Great long legged GT car. Quiet and tons of torque. The 5 speed isn't fun in town though and the clutch is heavy.It weighs over 4000 lbs. and you'll never be able to toss it around. An absolute blast to drive and very comfortable.
I love mine and have only had minor problems- waterpump ,alternator, and steering rack rebuilt, oil cooler and oil pressure sender replaced.
The 17" rims give you a choice of tires-the 16" only comes from Avon at about $400 a tire. They use chains for the cams, so no Ferrari belt changes. Parts aren't a problem, the dealers can get them from England easily though stick with the Heritage dealers. I've heard that body parts are hard to source, so don't hit anything. You certainly won't see another one on the road.
Get it inspected, they rust (yes i know the body is aluminum) and be sure the leather on the dash isn't pulling away from the edge. Get it inspected and enjoy. Low mileage isn't always a good thing, though. Try one you might be in for a surprise.

 

So they actually sold those in the U.S.? Odd. I thought our market never got 'em.

 

Roughly 1991-92 for the coupes, '93 for the Volantes. At $219K I'm sure they took a while to sell!
