From the seller: “This is the second car for sale, from the collection of the late Scott Martin, the UK’s No.1 180/2 litre enthusiast.
During the 1990s, he bought a lot of 180s, and only kept the ‘saveable’ cars, choosing to break any unrestorable cars for parts.
In the UK, there are about 10 180/2L cars left, and only 2, sometimes 3 on the road.

Sadly, during development, the engineering had to shared throughout Chrysler Europe, and as a result, you had a car with British Styling and Suspension, French engine, American gearbox (Torqueflite), Italian Carburation, and Spanish wiring.”
