The steel body left the factory finished in Banana Beige and was stripped, repaired, and repainted as part of the aforementioned 2009 restoration work. The strakes bisecting the lateral air intakes at the front of the car wear chrome trim, and further exterior details include driving lights, Bertone fender badges, side mirrors, venting rear quarter windows, and a single exhaust outlet with a polished finisher.
Borrani 15″ bimetal wheels feature alloy and steel construction and wear bright hubcaps. Pirelli Cinturato tires are mounted at all four corners. A matching spare is stored inside the trunk along with a jack and tool kit. Braking is handled by finned aluminum drums. The Girling secondary cylinders and brake linings were replaced in June 2018, according to the seller.
Confortevole models were equipped with roll-up side windows, as opposed to the sliding plexiglass windows of the Alleggerita. This example features seating trimmed in tan vinyl upholstery with contrasting sides and piping along with color-coordinated door panels. A Conrero badge is affixed to the glovebox door, and additional appointments include a cabin heater, a dash-mounted mirror, sun visors, lap belts, and Sprint Veloce-branded door sill guards.
The two-spoke steering wheel features a chrome horn ring and sits ahead of a painted steel dash housing Veglia instrumentation. The tachometer reads from 2k- to 8k-rpm and is accompanied by a 220-km/h speedometer as well as a combination gauge with readouts for oil temperature, water temperature, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows just over 3,700 kilometers (~2,300 miles), which is believed to represent the distance driven since 2009. True mileage is unknown.
The 1.3L twin-cam inline-four is equipped with a magnesium intake plenum as well as twin Weber DCO3 carburetors. A 123Ignition programmable distributor was added under current ownership, and the removed Magneti Marelli unit is included in the sale.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a replacement five-speed manual transmission that is said to have been rebuilt in June 2018. A Sachs performance clutch assembly as well as a custom-built driveshaft were installed at that time, according to the seller.
