The numbered Carlos Sainz series included several improvements developed for the competition versions such as the water/air intercooler, more efficient than the standard one; bonnet and specific bumpers, lightened with optimised airflow; quick-shift gears and clutch with reduced stroke; reinforced synchronisers (3 cones) on second and third gear.

Lightweight and fully reversible modifications. This is also a youngtimer not to be missed in the condition and special setting proposed, with a clear and documented history.
