This convertible was the very first Gutenparts build and enthusiast owned the entire time.
I purchased the car back in 2009 with 78,000 miles on the odometer and thoroughly enjoyed the 22,000 miles I added over the last 7 years.
The car runs great, no issues, no hesitations. The recently upgraded suspension provides very crisp handling and sharp cornering while still cruising very comfortably.
The exterior of the car is same condition as when I purchased her back in 2009, so she has a couple of small dents and the paint is checked under the clearcoat, however, this does not detract from how she looks. If anything this is part of her character that makes her great and she turns heads and gets looks everytime I take her out. Come check her out in person and you will see what I mean.
The interior of the car is in mint condition with the rare grey Uberkaro cloth interior which is much better suited for top down driving.
The car was originally registered in the US so it can be exported back without any issues.
