Comments from the dealer
Two words - TIME CAPSULE. No joke, this is like it came off the production line. Unbelievable how an old world ownership still exists in todays day of age, truly remarkable. The funniest part of it all, is that it is actually eligible for Historic Registration with only 53 kilometres. Unreal!
I don't think I really need to go into the level of the condition of this gorgeous little number as the photos should portray that, but one thing is for sure, for all those eyebrow raisers, it does have ONLY 53 kilometres.
Purchased from a local franchise dealership, even at time of stumbling across it I thought it may have been 100ish kilometres, but alas, half that and the documentation and 'like new' owners manuals and service books to prove it. Probably its only let down being that the last half of the service book is self serviced but meticulously documented still from the elderly person that performed the work. That is up until I serviced it again (without being due) and replaced 4 new tyres, even though they were still in legal tread depth, but were from 2009!
The snapshot of the era is still on display with the Stinger 2 Alarm system installed that if you remember correctly was from the 2000's era, and the original Hubcaps, Floor mats, Radio head unit and Cargo blind are all period correct. A true classic example of Original.
I envision the laughter incoming from the masses stating I'm crazy asking the price I am, but if you can buy one like this I'll buy it from you. Time and time again I have proven that rarity fetches rare value and my last few examples like this have achieved double of what the offers from the 'experts' were ying the example was worth at the time.
The beauty of owning a car dealership is I don't have to sell collector items like this for less than what I feel is fair and the correct deal to the right buyer. More often than not I will wait for that time, as to replace this will be near impossible now, unlike a Toyota Corolla or Camry.
I feel no need to go into any specifications as frankly, it doesn't really have any besides Aircon and Power Steering, but what it does have is a snapshot of the world gone by and probably when the world was a better place.
Buy this and take it to Car Meets and display the prize you will never win again.
