Comments from the seller

This classic vehicle is in great condition - I have owned for a few years now and had great fun getting it all working really well. This has included a full overhaul of the front end and replacement of almost all inlet tubing under the inlet manifold. Recently repaired the faulty wheels in the odometer and had rest of speedo checked over. Repaired those faulty window regulators. Regularly serviced through my ownership. New brakes including hoses. Fuel pump and accumulator. Replaced springs in front driver seat. The list goes on (and available). Not a thing to do except enjoy driving one very smooth and comfortable example of precise German engineering. Only selling because I am moving onto a new project. YOU WILL LOVE THESE FEATURES - ABS brakes - LED Headlights (very bright) - Leather seats - Bluetooth, hands free, remote sound system. - Climate control air conditioning (later model, low energy compressor fitted) - Front & rear power windows - Central locking (updated to electrical operation) - Woodgrain - centre console - Woodgrain - dash board - Power door mirrors
