Vehicle Detail

Hello, Look at the body on this, look at the floor pans, look at the interior, Wow is all I can say, and guess what? It runs too! I took this on trade so I dont have much history, I do know it does run and drive. It has clutch chatter, it has a whine at about 35 mph coming from the rear end. The tires are junk, still have tread but dry rotted, still hold air. It has an exhaust leak, not terrible, but bad to my standards. The body is so nice, except the little spot on the deck lid, pictures show it worse than it is, but then again the pictures make the car look better than it is! The car has an Arizona asigned title and vin. I dont know why. But the AZ vin # is AZ267936, the original vin is FM102180 UOC, The engine # is FM33489 UE The center console has no bolts in it, the switch on the gear shift does not work, when I started to drive the car the turn signals worked, but now do NOT, the lights all work, the gauges all work, no rips in the seats, The paint is supposedly original. but I cant say for sure. Its thin I know that. The car did not heat up after an hour of driving, and seam to run better after a while, The car has a rough idle at low RPM's but runs smooth at higher RPM's Well its a 31 year old british car, no warranty expressed or implied, runs fine now but could be dead tomorrow, get it, the car runs fine now with now signs of problems. I reserve the right to end the auction early if Jay Leno decides he wants to buy this car! Please ask questions early as the last day of the auction, I may not be available. I can bring the car to any local transport in North Phoenix Arizona, but shipping is up to the buyer. Oh yea, the convertible top is good, and there is a car cover, tonou cover, and a boot, spare tire cover, tool bag, ect. ect. The top is fine but the plastic back window is cracked and has clear tape over it, If you plan on driving with the top up, the wipers work too! Also, this is an auction, this car will sell with only one bid, so get in ask questions early, and win!On May-03-10 at 22:00:50 PDT, seller added the following information: interesting trades will be considered!
