Summary
This right-hand-drive, Park Ward–bodied drophead coupe was imported to the US in the 1970s and has been with the current owner's family since the late 1970s. It underwent a repaint in two-tone cream and light green and received a power-operated convertible top during a refurbishment in the early 2000s. Recent service in December 2023 addressed brakes and fuel system components, though rust is noted along the inner rocker panels, and there is a loose transmission linkage with slipping in reverse gear.

AlfaDave Wow, seems like a really good buy for a drophead R-Type. Color combo is unique, but not bad. Good investment.
