History / Overview
The model proposed is the 2.2 Turbo Special Equipment: with a power of 264hp, it is one of fewer than 1,000 European LHD versions produced. Very rare, with only 30,000 original and documented kilometers, this car represents an icon of the 1980s and has always been well maintained and serviced.

EXTERNAL
The external paintwork is still the original factory finish in the original color CALYPSO RED (A23), in excellent condition with minimal signs of use. All fiber parts are free of any detected defects. A polishing and detailing treatment has just been completed.

The underbody is solid, with no traces of accidents and in excellent condition.

Internal
The interior is completely original and in beautifully preserved condition, including the dashboard and all the various details, with the full wooden dashboard and the characteristic steering wheel of the SE series. The car is equipped with air conditioning.
Every detail is in beautiful condition.

MECHANICS
The 2.174cc engine is the original factory unit and is in good working order, producing 264 HP thanks to turbocharging. It has always been maintained for efficiency, starts easily, and is ready to use. The technical inspection passed is valid until March 2026 with no issues found. A service has just been performed at a specialized classic car workshop, and the car is ready to use.

This version is particularly interesting; it represents one of the highest points of evolution and is among the most sought-after configurations by enthusiasts, such as the SE Special Equipment.

A rare opportunity for collectors of '80s-'90s sports cars eager to add a vehicle of strong historical, technical, and iconic value to their collection, with only 30,000 km, original plates from the first registration, and ASI ORO certification.
