Ian,
As I remember, this was in 1974 or so and the car needed TLC. It was dark
green with a black interior. The interior was worn and it needed paint. If
Robert's was green at one point and had a black interior (hopefully replaced
by now) it is possible that these are the same car, especially as there were
very few of these cars in the USA. I know I asked the owner how it got to New
York City from Italy, but I do not remember what he told me. I first learned
of Venezias from the 1966 World Car catalog (at the library).
