Clenet Series 1 For Sale

VERIFIED SELLER

OFF MARKET

Starting as a garage manufacturer, Clenet is one of those American names that few know about, but more ought to. This automaker produced neo-classical automobiles for the wealthy during the 1970s and 1980s. They modeled their designs after 1930s cars, but equipped them with modern (at the time) technology and drivetrains. Their first product was the Series 1, replaced by the Series 2 in 1979. Some research tells us that only 250 Series 1 examples were made, making this 1979 Clenet Series 1 Roadster a very rare car indeed. It’s currently up for sale in Aurora, Colorado, with less than 3,200 miles on the clock. So, if you want to own something American, classic, and rare, this car is a great choice to make, and its rarity means that it will keep on appreciating in value as long as you take care of it.

Dabbling in classic cars is lovely, but what if you want something different? Why not look to America’s host of smaller manufacturers and coachbuilders for inspiration? Clenet Coachworks is a great place to start, as this company made 1930s-inspired cars in the 1970s and 1980s. Headquartered in Santa Barbara, California, there’s not a lot of information about them on the Interwebs. In fact, the company does exist to a degree, as its current owner, Sir Alfred J. DiMora, operates a company called DiMora Motorcar. Why not pay homage to this quirky automaker and buy this 1974 Clenet Series 1 Roadster Replica? With a reportedly original 422 miles on the clock, this car comes with up-to-date servicing and a great V8 under all that vintage-look bodywork.
