Remarks
original colour, original wheels, etc. Small amounts of corrosion on alloy wheels , looks fixable, hardly noticeable so I have never bothered to get it done. . New correct Pirelli P500 tyres on front. Stainless steel exhaust, new. Power soft top in good condition, working well, a few small marks (hard to see) but fabric very good. Electric aerial can delay in retracting but only by a minute or so before it behaves.

Remarks
Seats supportive, all electrics work. Interior lights in the back sometimes pop out of their holder, easy to put back in. Passenger door card to rear can pop out, maybe once a year. Seat belts all work, central locking works. Leather pretty good. Veneer not bad, a perfectionist might want to get one part of it sorted, a small crack near the gearshift. Radio cassette (I think its original Blaupunkt DIN removeable) in very good condition, sounds great, I think hardly used. Havent tried a cassette lately, if I can find one I will do so! Battery isolator switch in boot. All gauges work. all lights work.
