Selling this car is difficult as it holds a lot of sentimental value and is the result of a horrendous car collision I was in just over a year ago. To give you a comprehensive view of its condition, I've created a detailed video showcasing its beauty, performance, and the extensive work done on it. This is a perfect starting point for any collector, and it’s ready to drive.

Key Highlights:

  • Mechanically Sound: Drives flawlessly, shifts smoothly, and steers perfectly with no unusual noises.
  • Fully Functional Interior: All options work, including seats and sunroof. Modern radio & speakers with Bluetooth and AUX input installed.
  • Rust-Free: Zero rust, and everything unbolts easily for maintenance.
  • No Leaks: No oil, diesel, or Transmission leaks.

Maintenance and Repairs:

  • Alignment: Car drives straight, but the steering wheel is slightly off-center by 5 degrees. No play in the steering box. Drives perfectly fine as is.
  • [UPDATED]Air Conditioning: Has a brand new r134a air conditioning pump, condenser, drier and pressure switch. AC now working!
  • Paintwork: Some lacquer peel on the hood and roof. Paint code #587 Cabernet Red Metallic is available. Minor age-related marks are present.
  • Seats: Leather cracking on the driver's seat and armrest; other seats are in good condition with the rear seats almost like new.
