With all relevant import documentation, receipts for work done, factory books and spare keys and original registration certificates, this Allante has a well-documented provenance.

Originally designed to compete with the Mercedes-Benz SL range and the Jaguar XJS, the Allante was a unique combination of Pininfarina styling and a powerful 4.1L V8 Engine. The bodies were designed and manufactured in Italy and then shipped to the U.S. where the bodies were mated to the American chassis and engine. Fitted with a number of factory features including a Bose sound system, the industry’s first power retractable antenna, electric seats and windows, a fully digital instrument cluster and the option for a cellular telephone installed in the in the centre console, these examples were considered to be the height or U.S luxury at the time.
