'. . . This handsome first-series 2.7 RS coupe was originally delivered to Brazil, where it lived until about nine years ago. The second owners, who kept the car for about 20 years, were a father and son team that operated an automotive restoration shop in Sao Paolo. Well-known California collector and auto broker David Mohlman knew the family through his business, and relates that the car was completely rebuilt, the owners intending it for their own use. They worked to ensure that the car was as correct as possible utilizing only original and new/old stock parts where necessary. Mohlman says he bought the car from the family in April of 2006, and a few months later sold it to a Mr. Cal Turner of Nashville, Tennessee. In 2009, the car was offered for sale at Bonham's annual Quail Lodge auction, where it was purchased by the current owner. It has been driven regularly in the years since; with the owner frequently commuting to his California recreational property.
This car carries a host of factory options which it is believed to have had from new, including power antenna, heated rear window – two stage tinted, a limited slip differential, head restraints on both seats, fog lamps, an engine bay light, shoulder/lap safety belts, air conditioning, electric sunroof and electric windows, all of which greatly enhance the already enjoyable nature of the car. Its rear spoiler and black Carrera striping package are thought to have been added shortly after the car's arrival in Sao Paolo. Instruments are metric, including a 250 kph speedometer.
Today, this wonderful car is offered in its original paint scheme of Light Ivory with black leatherette Sport Seats and interior and black "negative" Carrera striping. It is supplied with a correct maroon vinyl document pouch containing an English-language owner's manual and other documentation, spare wheel and compressor, tool roll, and jack. The Bosch MFI and a relatively low-restriction exhaust provide both crisp engine response and a wonderful song under hard acceleration. Although it is not in Concours condition, its leather has lovely patina and presents beautifully . . .'
