Comments from the seller
MY HEART IS BREAKING😢
Reluctantly selling the present I got from my dad for my 18th birthday in 1990. I am the second owner. It's a 1977 factory made left hand drive convertible which got serviced regularly and always kept undercover. I shipped it from Germany to Perth when I immigrated in 1998. I spent $8,300 in early 2020 to replace the kickboards and remove rust underneath. The interior seals need some TLC but the car runs perfectly. It comes with a battery charger.
This car needs to be driven and loved. It turns heads wherever I go. I just don't have the time anymore to fully enjoy it. To good home only. Please no low offers. If I don't get close to what I'm asking, I won't sell.
4 new tyres fitted September 2026.
