Condition
The exterior of the car is in good, usable condition. The paint looks nice and the car's shapes are reminiscent of the beautiful blue. Chrome, bumpers and moldings are in good condition. The windshield has been removed from the body by a glass technician who sealed the window frame before reassembly. There are minor stone chips and other traces of the car's age, but overall in a good enjoyable condition. There is a scratch on the right rear wing and a small dent in the chrome grill. Pattern depth is noted at 6mm.
The interior of the car is also in good working condition. Chairs and back seat are both in good condition. When returning from the USA, the car had American digital gauges. These have now been replaced with original analogue gauges and the panel was refurbished at the same time. For this reason, meter reading cannot be guaranteed. The tachometer is not connected after installation. Upper and lower panel padding has been replaced by the current owner. New wiring harness is installed from the instruments to the spreaders. Door panels in good condition apart from a pocket that is broken on the driver's side. The original carpets in blue are relatively dirty from years of use. Inner ceiling in relatively good condition and sits where it should without sagging or boring.
Mechanically, the car is described as having no complaints. Engine and gearbox run fine and no leaks have been noted. Brakes are described as working without any complaints.
