I believe I have had a look at this car a few years ago. The build quality was very high, but the car was far from finished. Not sure if it's the same, but it looks like it.

This is the old car from Serge van Geffen, he also imported the red Convertible which is on my site for sale. The Convertible is perfect, but this black coupe is far from ready. He had a few great ideas, but never got to finishing it. He wrote a few stories which can be found on my website. He installed an aircraft style fuel cap, changed the heater airtake and had a Renault heater ready for installation. Also the dashboard has changed to one with round dials. but if everything works I don't know. Also the rear quarter windows can open. All windows are green tinted. All hinges, window and doors, have been replaced by stainless steels ones with teflon inserts. When he bought the car it turned out to be severely damaged including the RH B-pillar. He spent a fortune getting it fixed with professional material from the boating industry. But the car has not been driven since, so it is unclear if new cracks will appear. That's a gamble because the car has been professionally painted and it looks as good in the flesh as on the pictures. It is completely smooth. The amount of money spent on this car is enormous, but I don't think it will fetch a good price. Nobody is going to pay serious money for a half built project car.
