Seller's description:
Paint on this car is good and as noted it is the second respray of Pale Primrose Yellow. No rust or dulling just some minor road rash and chipping but otherwise the paint is stunning and shiny. Chrome and badging as well as trim is all gleaming and nary any faults. Convertible top is spotless, and presents in black canvas with a clear plastic window. A black tonneau cover wraps up the top nicely when it is in the down position. Chromed 15 inch wire wheels with knockoff hubs are seen on all 4 corners and these are wrapped in 185/70RH15's from the 9th week of 2019.
Black carpet in very nice condition is covering the floor and small rear stowage area. The trunk is nearly perfect and covered in gray felting, no damage here.
A flip forward of the bonnet reveals the rebuilt 4.2 liter DOHC Inline 6 cylinder, and the original dual Su carbs. The original 4-speed manual transmission is attached. The rear axle is a 3.54 version. A nice and clean well maintained recently rebuilt mill and with a patina engine bay looking all good.
All clean and shiny underneath, reworked and very clean independent torsion bar front suspension, and independent coil overs for the back. Disc brakes now reside on all 4 corners. No structural problems, and a very sturdy and clean frame.
