This is a great example of these popular and desirable luxury cabriolets, of which fewer than 1400 were ever built. The car is still in original colors with one quality respray a few years ago, and has had ongoing mechanical servicing. Within the last thousand miles it has received over $13,000 in front suspension & brake work, five new tires (on the original date-coded wheels), A/C conversion to R134A and a new Haartz-cloth convertible top and headliner were just installed.

The 20,547 KM currently showing are believed to be only the second time around (~74K miles). It was originally delivered in Germany—but was imported to California and later spent time in Texas so no midwest rust issues. The Zebrano wood dash, console and windshield trim is exceptionally nice, the original leather rear seat & door cards are excellent and the front seats are covered with custom fitted sheepskin covers for enhanced comfort in all seasons. Even the original clock works!

Fitted with the floor console shifter and factory Behr air conditioning, it also retains the original Becker Europa radio, original books & data cards and a nice set of cocoa mats. The engine number matches the data card as being the original and delivered +/- 150psi compression readings on all cylinders recently. It has the factory Sekurit glass etchings and a beautiful array of Bosch Euro headlights and driving lamps.

Overall, this is a very high-level survivor car to be driven and experienced. It runs and drives very well, is tight and rattle-free with cold A/C for hot days. Unlike many 'garage queens' that may look nice but rarely turn a wheel, this is one your family can enjoy on a regular basis. Plus, it looks just like the 3.5 V8 versions that literally cost twice as much!
