Pininfarina version from 1983-1985 are most prized, nd built in the most limited numbers. Fewer of these were made in these three model years than Ferrari or Maserati. Produced exclusively at the Pininfarina factory.

Please note that this is a limited production Lusso S2 model, ne of only 50 to be built.

Fewer than ten of these special cars are built each year, nd all come with a commerative signed number plate and leather binder. Bumpers are cosmetic and do not meet contemporary 5 mph standards.

We have a second rust free California chassis in automatic-- available for this project for late Fall delivery if a manual transmission is not preferred.

This proposed Spider will be built to an Avanzato standard with Lusso S2 appointments, o include premium paint and advanced mechanical work that is optional on lesser models.

Car photographed has standard Lusso wheels. See below a description of our restoration process. This restoration includes all Basso and Avanzato features. Lusso package added, ith several Ultmo upgrades.

Overview

Our full cosmetic and mechanical restoration process is currently being undertaken, nd the end result will be simply stunning. Detailed information about what this process entails can be found on our web site, nd partially itemized below.

The Lusso leather upgrade package features premium leather seats and head rests, eather door panels, ulls, ccents, nd leather rear wings. In keeping with the original theme, hoice of vintage premium German loop carpet or Wilton wool is included. The signature Rosso Corsa Ferrari exterior color, ith tan caprone leather is one of the most popular combinations ever offered on this model. Other color options can be screened on our web site.

Cosmetic Impressions

Every Roadster Salon car is completely disassembled prior to paint. Body lines are taught, nd new metal is used to repair any imperfections. Media blasting is standard practice on Avanzato and Ultimo level spiders. All are carefully blocked and sanded to a show quality finish, hen wet sanded and buffed before being re-assembled. The color combination is ideal for warm climates.Panel fitment is better than when the car came out of the factory.

We can't say enough about our Lusso interior upgrades. All key surfaces were covered by hand with premum leather--cut from the same premium hyde. No color match issues. Workmanship is to a Ferrari/Maserati standard. Bellissimo. Optional leather rear seat is available which can be added for an upcharge.

Mechanical and Driving Impressions

It is a joy to drive a fully sorted classic Italian convertible. Engine start up, nd idle feels sharp and lively. Acceleration cruising and braking remind the driver of a contemporary car. All of the car's original endearing personality and character remains, ut without the reliability concerns. Just tremendous fun overall.

It is hard to describe the difference between our original Lusso and the S2 version on the road. The advanced proprietary rack and pinion steering has the incredible feel of a much more contemporary car. Chassis bracing gives the Lusso a measure of structural rigidity that no other Spider possesses. Bumpy road surfaces and railroad crossing are no longer a rattle fest. The car's handling is transformed from the original version, nd braking is like the best that 2015 has to offer. Simply incredible.

Please note All Avanzato level cars have the engine and transmissions removed and fully rebuilt as part of the package. Basso level restorations have the engines sorted within the bay, ith less extensive parts replacement.

Pricing

Roadster salon carefully hand crafts about 30 cars per year, etailed to the specifications of each customer.There recently has been a huge upswing in the classic car market for vintage spiders.

However, t is important to note that restored automobiles in general should be built for the love and enjoyment of their owners. They are not hugely profitable endeavors--for the builder or reseller. To value a Roadster Salon Spider along side a used Fiat--or measure by a "car guide" is to miss the point of the car entirely.

Our goal is not to build a $150K trailer queen, ut rather a car that can be casually enjoyed when ever the passion arises. In that regard, ur stirring recreations exceed all reasonable expectations. 10/10.

Considering the quality, orkmanship, nd warranty, oadster Salon Spiders are one of the great values in the market today.
