Herve', We have what could possibly be the most original 2.4 liter spider in the world with only 15,000 approx. miles or less than 25,000 klicks. It has the original paint, interior, hoses, clamps, exhaust, tires etc. It went into climate controlled storage about 40 years ago and just recently came out. All the little markings are there as are the decals. I would be happy to share some info with you and photos. PM me when you can.

It appears the shock springs were originally green covering the RIV shocks.  The original carpet still has the plastic protection that came from the factory.

Richard, this is such a valuable contribution to this community. I think many of us would appreciate it a great deal if you would post many photos of this car - especially the running gear, detailed engine bay shots, underside and interior - as many as you are willing to.

The later original version of the electronic ignition. The overflow tank with an old service sticker still attached from many years ago showing approx. 18,000 kilometers.
Mufflers were original and show the stamping numbers.
