Summary
This pre-war-style sports special was constructed in the late 1990s by Rodolfo Iriarte of Buenos Aires, Argentina, featuring hand-formed aluminum bodywork and red upholstery. It is powered by a 1.5-liter inline-four with dual Stromberg carburetors, paired with a four-speed manual transmission, and rides on 16″ wire wheels with drum brakes. The car shows approximately 200 miles on the odometer and comes with a clean California title listing it as a 1948 Benjamin.
