I spoke with the dealer yesterday night during an event and I know some of the history of the car (ex Italy, quite well known among Italian collectors). PM me if you want to know more.

I keep a registry of 1972 and 1973 2.4 S coupé chassis. Infos always welcome!!!
I can see 10-15 minor things but it looks good to me in the pictures, and what a great colour. Main one is the brake reservoir over flow pipe, it needs correctly fitting to the inner wing fixing and those red HT leads! also the nylocks used on the throttle bodies and stacks are not doing their job correctly, originally nylocks were not used.

Never was a car built with that quality of paint under the hood. Looks like Barry Meguiar been in there too.

They should have been less focused on front trunk and paid more attention to engine bay. +1 Alan on the red wires and all of the incorrect fasteners/ hoses. When you see something like that it doesn't make one feel warm and fuzzy about what's inside the motor.
I don't get it. Bringing a car to market looking like that just creates doubt.
The six stickers on the panel at the engine, I thought there should be only 5, ie number two or three was left blank ?
Faboulous car, wonder what it's worth?

Correct it should only have 5 decals, and those fitted are the later versions, for example many from Porsche now come with the part number printed on them, which for our pre 73 cars they never were. This is why we re-made them. Don't get me wrong I am not trying to criticise as this is not my car. Most things seen would be a very easy fix, eg the bolt used on the clutch cable, Pre heat set up used yet with early front tinware thus no warm air from the heat exchanger, earth straps, engine mount washers upside down, etc...
As was said above, I also see some minor stuff that would easily be corrected
Wrong exhaust tip
Looks like a big '74 side view mirror
Wrong type of clamps on the fuel line hoses going to the filter console (hard to see maybe they're right) I've heard that the wrong type of chose clamps can be a safety issue
Wrong type of screws holding the cardboard cover in the swanky looking trunk (?)
Looks like the headliner is sagging up in front of the correct poofy sun visors
Needs many more photos of the interior and underside.
Beautiful car! Good luck

How should the front compartment look? Not lacquered?
