Supposedly it was used for the European show car curcuit in 1971 & 72, then used as one of his company cars from 72 to 81, when it was sold to its 1st Italian owner. I will be its 3rd owner after the seller that was just north east of Paris France.
Fingers crossed that the rust in the front fenders is not much worse than it appears (when does that happen? I know I'm a dreamer sometimes.) I always thought the 130 Coupes were better looking than the 4 seat Ferrari's of the era, but slower with only 1/2 the cylinders, and 2/3'ds the HP.
Ya never know, sometimes you get lucky and the rust really is just what you can see, and nothing more.

I agree it looks far better than most 4 seat Ferraris from back then, although I've always thought the Ferrari 412 was kinda cool
