A wood-rimmed Nardi steering wheel sits ahead of clear gauges on a wood or leather dash. The rear-mounted gearbox frees up cockpit space with a slim center tunnel. Heating and ventilation are provided, electric windows were optional, and a rear shelf with straps holds luggage.

Petrol engine with 94-litre fuel tank.

Four-wheel disc brakes as standard.

Independent suspension all round.

Oil changes recommended every 3000 miles or annually.

No ABS.

The car runs on petrol fed by Weber carburettors. The fuel tank holds 94 litres.

Servicing requires specialist knowledge due to the complex V12 and transaxle. Regular oil and filter changes form the core of maintenance, along with checks on fluids, brakes, and valve clearances as outlined in the period operating handbook.

Safety equipment centres on disc brakes at all four wheels with dual hydraulic circuits and a servo. The tubular chassis and all-independent suspension aid control. Seat belts of the period airline style were fitted on some cars. No formal crash-test ratings exist for this generation.

Keeping the car means planning for specialist attention, parts that can be hard to source, and secure storage. Bodywork may be steel or aluminium, and regular lubrication plus brake fluid changes help preserve it.
