WOW! What a GORGEOUS car, and a BLAST to drive! Truly a conversation piece, every time you stop at a red light, the person in the car next to you, wants to talk to you about the car. Can you imagine a better way than spending your time driving around with the top down? I purchased the car on ebay several years ago, now it's time to let someone else enjoy it, because it truly is fun to ZIP around in. I have the long list of items that the previous owner had done to vehicle, as well as all the work I've done over the last few winters. It has been garaged as long as I've had it. ISSUES -- Transmission has a reverse issue. It wants to jump out of reverse gear, you can hold the shifter tight to keep it in. I've read online that it sounds like reverse throw out gear needs to be replaced, but it can be driven like this for years. I do quite a bit of automotive repair, but not transmissions. Fortunately, I back out of garage with a very slight downhill. Otherwise, I always park where I can pull out forward. There are several small dings around driver side rear wheel, which can be seen in photo. These are problems that need to be addressed, but I DO use the car almost everyday. The car isn't 'MINT', but it's not $8,000 either, it has a very low reserve. You won't regret it. P.S. The car was relisted because I never heard from the previous winning bidder after four days despite numerous attempts of contact. If you are ebay user ''inline-corp" please do not waste everyone's time with your scam bid.
