That's it ! Locked for you to find the right year

That's a difficult one: the company started in 1985 but you can order a new one today according to their website. They are built Nestor Salerno, an Argentinian racing driver.

I will award you the point because you found the car. According to the owner his car dates from 1968, possibly being the date from the chassis.

His website states that the company is a "Specialist in historic car building". Personally, I can't see how you can build an historic car - how can it be historic if it's just been made?

They're lovely cars in their own right, but one or two people in the classic car trade try to pretend they're the real thing. Just saying. I reckon the 1968 date comes from the donor engine.
