Factory) o Desirable European Version o Rare Early L-Series 1 of 355 produced, featuring knock off wheels, aluminum door and bonnet skins and carry over features from the 206 Dino like push button trunk latch, early dash, fitted head rest, wooden steering wheel, and more.
o Numbers Matching Engine o Offered with Marcel Massini History Report o Previous single ownership of nearly 40 years (1982-2021) o Extensive early documentation and service history file.
o Records dating back from 1979-2013, 2022-23 o Recently uncovered from long-term storage o Recipient of a 2022-23 extensive Mechanical Service and Cosmetic Freshening The L-series served as the direct successor to the 206 GT and was built from March of 1969 until October of 1970.
During this time, only 357 total examples were built, and they are considered by connoisseurs as the bridge between the 206 and 246 GTs.
The L-Series kept many details from the 206 including, the more purposeful 206-style seats and dash, center-lock knock-off wheels, a deeper passenger foot well with a folding footrest, and numerous other small distinctions.
More significantly, the L-series cars featured lightweight alloy doors and deck lids whereas the later M- and E-series cars used heavier all-steel bodies.

In the early seventies it was sold to a Dr.
