Looks very clean. Interesting that it's an earlier S1 with fixed windows and Lancia taillights, but titled as a 1968.

Back then it was common to tittle cars when they were sold, not manufactured.

The car is a S1A, VIN 460442, built in 1968 like most of the S1A. It has been retro-fitted with bonded in door windows.
You can identify it as a S1A by the wooden dash and the missing Oddie fasteners.
The cars looks super clean and restored to original spec. But I'm not a fan of the non-original green metallic paint.
