The headling is excellent with no marks or sagging ,the wood is stunning and beautiful and she still as the original factory working radio, model number 980/vsy and electric antenna front electric seats work in all directions with no lag as do the windows exept on one rear which sometimes does not respond to the command. All lights work perfect ,although the centre time piece clock on the dash is stuck at 2-45 Also she has Original Britax RR lapbelts ,sold with the original hand book and complete original small tool kit and road side jacking kits Fully maintained with all records she had a full service +hydraulic and brake replacement of pipes ,seals, parts etc and full trnsmission overhaul .at $4000.
