Identity

Mangusta intl registry: This car is in Australia and was purchased on the 15th Nov 2002 from the original Sydney owner after being told by a fellow owner here in Melbourne that owner may be thinking of selling. I wrote to the factory shortly after buying it, and they sent a nice letter back confirming where it was sold, the engine & gearbox numbers, also saying that it was built in 1972. I had been after one for 30 years, and as there are only possibly 10 in Australia, it has been a long task to find one, I was eventually rewarded with this one owner low mileage car that the owner had never taken anywhere but his local garage! The car is in good original condition and all I have been doing is going through it refurbishing as required, I have replaced all the coolant pipes, hoses & pump, also the engine electrics, clutch master and slave cylinders and pipes as well as the brakes.
