FT Bonito, a GT-40 replica build and put on the road new in 1979 in Europe

This car was imported from the Netherlands in 1980 and was approved for the road by the EPA and the US Safety Counsel.
The car was completed in 1979 after which the government tested the vehicle for safety, road worthiness, proper suspension, brake system etc.
Hand build in the Netherlands the car has been extensively driven on the German Autobahn and handles like a dream.
Build around a VW pan chassis with four wheel independent suspension, the car is powered by a six cylinder Ford engine and is coupled to a five speed Porche transmission.
The interior is custom fabricated as well and the car is equipped with Blaupunkt audio system and an hidden antenna.
It seats two adults and two small children but safety seats are not provided.
The car has been stored since early 2000 and the engine is completely filled with oil to prevent corrosion.
