The car always starts well. It is a reliable runner and copes easily with a couple of long trips to two car shows each year. It had always been my intention to smarten up the getting tired but original interior but I have been unable to over recent years. Tough decision to sell because it is, to me, this is the best looking car ever made but we are getting a new motorhome this summer which means I will have that as a big distraction so I know I wont have time to replace the carpets, refurbish the seats etc.
Whatever the car has needed, I have had the work done by reliable mechanics. Please get in touch if you have any questions. Thanks
