The car is in stunning state and condition, cosmetically as also technically It is in fact a convertible with crank windows, so it never too windy when you drive open. On cooler day the car has the nicest look when the hood is in coupe-de ville positon (half open). The car can be driven open on lovely summer days, closed in autumn and winter days and is ready to hit the road for rally and tour! With much space inside and space in the trunk for luggage it is the ideal car to go on journey and holidays with.
