Yes, that’s right.. we are not wrong even if you see this brown metallic, the original color of this unit when it was first registered in Barcelona was the beautiful N8 Lime green.

We started this restoration of a 2.7 S Targa national and single owner from the first day to date.

The order for the property is for restoration of body, mechanics and interiors.
