As factory extras, besides the canvas sunroof (which makes it model 117 in the brand’s catalogue), it was fitted with larger reflector stop lamps and an engine bonnet handle with keys.
The car was purchased on 15 February 2010 from relatives of the first owner, in mainland Portugal. It has never undergone a full restoration, only receiving maintenance and some work on the exterior paint and upholstery.
Based on the letters of its number plate, it is lovingly called “Maria Teresa” by its owner.
