A new 2-inch exhaust system has also been installed and the brakes were renovated in 2020.
Equipment and Options
Spartan like a real sports car, i.e. heat pack and fan! More comfortable seats with headrests and removable extra support for the back/hip are also installed.
Condition
Overall good condition from previous renovation. The vehicle is free from rust. Bright yellow paint in good condition with red stripes. Glass parts, lamps and chrome look nice. Smaller amounts of stone chips are of course present, but nothing conspicuously bad. The Ronal rims are in good condition and come with approx. 6mm pattern depth.
The interior is also in good condition. Instrument panel, controls and buttons look good and all electronics work as intended.
Mechanically, the car is in as good condition as otherwise. No leaks have been found. Neat and clean under the hood and with a really nice intake sound from the well-sized Weber carburettor. Brakes are described as being unremarkable.
