A local fellow's car, just took in trade

41,000 original miles, no rust, lime yellow original paint has stood the test of time fairly well. No rust underneath, very clean engine and trunk compartments.

A lot of recent work done....new convertible top, new Minilite style alloy wheels, new 165/70 radials, new brakes, new electronic ignition, some new electrical items.

All gauges work, has 'like new' oil pressure, no smoke, the 1500cc engine runs well, has and all synchromesh transmission, very good original tonneau and boot cover, excellent interior, original jack and lug wrench, wiring and electrics are all in good condition, runs and drives wonderfully.

At the moment, we are looking for the proper parts to convert the car to chrome bumpers. Just a thought.

Otherwise a cute little sports car with reasonably modern safety equipment. Cruises nicely at 70-80 mph, excellent steering and handling, and sure braking with its disc brakes.

More performance is available with the installation of a downdraft 32/26 DGV Weber carb. Otherwise, a fun little Summer classic that has obviously seen little use since new.
