With only 63k pampered original miles.
The Silver Mist Metallic Paint looks to be mostly all original with a completely all original interior right down to the carpet.
This R1 is loaded with unique options, including the R2 Paxton Supercharged option which was possibly dealer installed, as it is all correct with the correct supercharged carburetor.
It even has the ultra rare and valuable, original set of 15 Halibrand magnesium wheels.
The way this car is equipped, it could have been a very special car from new.
It probably still has its build sheet hidden in the car someplace, as it is so original.
