Vehicle Detail

Amazing "barn find!" this is essentially a one owner car, built in 1973, which was delivered new to a German doctor living in Florida for the use of his wife in early 1974. That lady kept it until she passed away, in 2003. The car was then left in it's air conditioned garage until last month, when it was bought by a local guy, for whom I am acting. Mileage is as shown, less than 75,000 miles from new and the car still has it's ORIGINAL PAINT! See the photos, never been repainted. Interior is also original, original headlining, (see photos), as is everything including, I think, the spare wheel which has probably never been used. Jack and wheelbrace are still there. The twin overhead camshaft engine runs with no rattles, no noises, very smoothly indeed with correct oil pressure and the car drives just fine but after being stored for so long, would undoubtedly benefit from a complete service. There are few opportunities to buy original cars, with their original paint and interior from the 1970s. This is one of them, don't let it get away....
