It is equipped with two double-barrel carburetors, four disc brakes, a second 26-liter fuel tank located in the front trunk with bypass valve in front of the driver's seat. It is the first affordable compact sports car with sporty performance for a production car price.

The example we present is a faithful reconstruction from new original parts, however it still requires some work to start up, especially in terms of fluids and electricity.
