history and reference Anyone Know The Whereabouts Of This 2002 Lumma Cabrio?

[tomscat1]

thanks to Mark s. for the lead on this red Lumma Cabrio that he spotted at port Huemene when he picked up his cabrio a few years back.  We have seen a couple of red ones.... but does anyone have an idea if this is one of those?

Not sure, but the front side "wing" windows do not look curved at the top like a Lumma would have......could be a real Cabrio???

Good point, 02Les.  I sent this thread to Mark S. for his thoughts.

Here is a good pic of what you are talking about, I think.  Note the curve over the triangle window.  It can be found here:

This Lumma has since been moved to MA, restored, and is for sale for about $25,000 or so.  It is a VERY rare 1502.

 

 I believe that Mark's pic goes back to about 2003, btw.  Your question spurred me to look back through the archives here and I did find these:

 

Here is an old link from 2002FAQ about Lummas that may be of some interest:

Whoa... here is another thread.... it actually has this same red cabrio in it from 2012!  I forgot all about this.... but I think this is where I first heard about a red cabrio in the port that day!

And this one:

This one is reportedly a 'deep red', or maybe "Malaga'.
