Description
The car passed a fresh inspection on September 25, 2022, without a single remark. A major service was carried out in autumn 2022, and the car has only been driven about 140 km since. At that time, a full service including timing belt replacement was completed. Everything in the car is fully functional except for the A/C. The compressor seems to engage, so it may just need a gas refill or some other minor adjustment. The car has not been inspected on a lift, but based on its condition, everything appears to be in order – confirmed by the current owner as well.
The car comes with three keys, original tools, jack, a stamped service book, and a collection of inspection reports.
As a charming piece of trivia, you can also read the previous owner’s farewell letter to her beloved car “Freddy” in the owner’s comments.
Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
Excellent original condition. Engine, gearbox, clutch, and brakes all function satisfactorily. Road safety features have been documented as working well during inspection.
-
Interior condition
Very good condition, with really nothing worth noting. For a 34-year-old car, it shows remarkably few signs of use – something truly rare.
-
Exterior condition
According to the previous owner, the car was repainted in the 1990s. A minor scratch prompted the very meticulous lady to have the entire car resprayed. There is a small stone chip in the windshield outside the field of vision, and a minor scratch can be found on the left rear bumper. Just a few small stone chips overall. Glass, trim, and moldings are all in good, well-kept condition.
-
General condition
A fun and rather unusual car that conveys a truly fine original impression. A car you will most likely be quite alone in owning and showing at this summer’s classic car events.
