Nothing to do with me, but not a bad car:

Looks great... and if it nearly as perfect as it looks... worth the price. I would have loved to see some pictures from underneath.

I have a similar sample (same color combination) with just the same mileage, new engine (500 km from new), fully restored for a lightly better price.

I think both yours and this one were restored in the USA.. Maybe one used to belong to Phil Toledano, although his car had a black interior..So maybe it's yet another Ice Blue Dino..

Olivier was the name of the other guy.. think his name on here was IceBlue!

yes, mine was also done in the US... and I had to do the whole job again in Europe. In the end it is not only about a new paint job. And the 500 km is because also... the whole engine needed to be redone. Just was finished now a few weeks ago. But you can also speak to HugoHarris... same painful experiences. But in the end it pays off...

This is always the danger of buying a restored car... If you are really lucky, it was done very well...

I am lucky, I have owned my car for 20 Years, so any major problems, would have happened in this period...

Yes Hugo has now got a beautiful car.. Thankfully Mark Delaney managed to bring it back to better than new!

Congratulations on finally getting your car to perfect condition

Yes, Mark is phantastic in terms of knowledge and execution. He has already shown me quite a few details about the spiders I never was aware of.

Currently, he is working on a second Dino Spider 2.4, which also belongs to me. It just takes too long as he is alone in his shop and busy with other cars as well.

Ridiculous price request for a car that is neither perfect nor original - looking at the pictures in detail gives the impression that the car had a quick sales respray (e.g. boot/trunk seals or door entry.)

You have to have faith that Mark will produce an amazing result for you... But it will take a minute

The price seems extraordinary given the faults that I can see. The following aspects are unoriginal.
Radio blanking plate was metal on 2400 spiders, not fabric covered. The square front orange lights shouldn’t be there. The brake fluid reservoir tops are wrong, the electronic ignition box is a modern substitute for the Dinoplex. The interior door base finishing strip should not show its fixing screws, and finally, I’m sure the 2 bright screws on the dashboard are wrong. I’ve probably missed several other inaccuracies.
If anyone wants an original 2400 spider in Fiat 152 red, at 50% of the price of this car, please shout! Based in the U.K.
