[DeTomaso] Longchamp GTS Spyder for sale

[Mike Drew]

Hahahahah!

Thanks Roland! Yes of course you are right! I meant Spyder, not Targa. Duh! 🤪

Just substitute the word ‘Spyder’ everywhere in my previous email. 

Thanks again! 👍

It was buildt from a used Coupe. I remember very well, when it was delivered to Auto Lorenz. I had to work out some major issues for the former german importer, Armin Fischer on it. Must have been around 1990. So, it is not a Spyder from the beginning. Koen should know it, i think he got all papers for the car.

I could write a long story about the Deauville and the GT5-S  i bought from him. I should have looked closer and not beleived every word he has told me. I am an adult and i know what i‘m doing, so i don‘t blame him. He is just as every other car seller.
