Each Spyder was designed to be raced.

Our Spyder presented in metallic silver, was factory built in Brazil in 1978, using the same tubular chassis as used in the original, it has a 1500cc boxer engine and weighs just over 600 kgs. It has a close ratio gearbox and is an absolute pleasure to drive through the winding Costa Blanca roads on a sunny day!
