There are some nice pics of that der with the auction. Neat to see one finally. I'd never seen one before.
I wonder how many of those made it over the the United States...probably not many...
Unless my memory is faulty, this is not actually the first-gen Gran Sport. Wasn't there an even earlier one, that used two cables instead of one, and had oval cut-outs in the idler wheels?
I wonder just how high this one will go. Sky's the limit, it seems.
