This Barchetta LE 98:
Chassis 36693 was completed on 1 June 1998, making it number 1017 of just 2,500 Limited-Edition Barchettas produced between January and October 1998. Finished in the highly desirable Steel Grey over Red combination, it perfectly complements the flowing lines of the Barchetta and remains one of the most elegant specifications for the model.This example retains all the LE-specific features that set these cars apart from a regular Barchetta: 16" five-spoke alloy wheels, contrasting red leather with matching details, red soft top, and the all-important individually numbered plaque on the central console.

Provenance:
Originally delivered in Italy, the car moved in 2001 with its first owner to Northern Cyprus (registered HNN.520), where it was reportedly used sparingly .
In 2009, upon emigrating to the US, the first owner passed the car on to his father in the Netherlands, at which time the Barchetta had covered just 18,000 km's.
It remained in the Netherlands until 2020, when it was sold to its third custodian, an enthusiast who enjoyed it for road trips across Europe.
In August 2025, we sourced the car from this long-term owner and brought it to Maastricht.

Condition & Recent Work:
The Barchetta arrived in good running order (we drove it over 200 km on collection) and is, most importantly, totaly free of any rust whatsoever! Nevertheless, it was due some care - so in September 2025 we commissioned a comprehensive service, including:
Fresh oil, oil filter and air filter
Timing belt and water pump renewal
Brake and clutch fluid flush
New rear exhaust silencer & fixings
Wheel alignment and new windscreen wipers

Today the car presents in excellent condition, freshly serviced and ready to be enjoyed. It stands on a set of Fulda tires that still have plenty of life in them and all booklets, keys and accessories are present: original wind deflector, user manual, service manual, radio manual, wind stop manual, service station booklet as well as various other documents supporting the provenance (road tax certificates, MOT's etc.).

Bite-Size:
An individually numbered limited-run open two-seater, with plenty of Italian flair! Freshly serviced and fully complete, this is a great buy for someone at a superb pricepoint!
