Seller's description:

Pretty car in ivory over burgundy 

Restored in Italy between 1995 and 1999 

Current keeper for 15 years 

Used sparingly for ceremonies

Registered with Automotoclub Storico Italiano

Maintenance to cooling system and brakes 

Reported to have never been in an accident

Revisone valid to September 2026 

This very pretty ivory over burgundy Mk2 3.4 MOD was restored in Italy over four years in the late 1990s. It is testament to its two subsequent keepers, the current one for 15 years, that it remains in such fine order. 

We are told that this car, which was originally delivered to Switzerland, has been sparingly used in recent years for ceremonies, a role for which it seems perfectly suited. It is said to be in very good condition, which you can check in the photos. Recent maintenance includes work to the brakes and cooling systems. It comes with a good history file and valid Revisione to September 2026. It carries ASI certification. 

The 3.4L car is a wise buy for enthusiast as it provides a very sweet-revving unit that is nearly as quick as the 3.8. This car adds the desirable factory overdrive option to improve its drivability.
