Condition
-
Mechanical condition
Engine, gearbox, and clutch operate satisfactorily. The gear lever is a bit loose, but this is not unusual for this model. New front brake calipers and brakes. All technical functions of the instruments are in working order. The car has not been inspected on a lift, so the owner’s statement that it is in good condition is the best we can convey. Good tires from 2012.
-
Interior condition
Mixed condition in the interior. Good dashboard, door panels, and instruments. A somewhat unusual carpet, best compared to a long-haired dog’s fur. Additional floor mats included. Cracks are present in both seats (see photos).
-
Exterior condition
Rust present at the bottom of both doors and near the right taillight. Minor scratches and stone chips are visible. A slight dent on the right rear fender. The car has been repainted in its original color at some point in its life. Soft top, cockpit cover, and hardtop are in good usable condition. Comes with double keys for functioning locks. Left side mirror glass is missing. Bumpers, light fixtures, and lenses are in good usable condition.
-
General condition
This car is roadworthy in its current condition. For those who wish to address the aspects that detract from the overall impression, it would make a perfect winter project.
