Owner's Assessment

It's an Italian icon that's simplicity itself to drive, absolutely delightful on mountain roads and coastal routes alike. Its removable roof and colour combination (midnight blue / red interior and hood) immediately win you over. No expenses to budget for – you simply turn the key and go.
