Finished from the factory in Signal Red (568), the body was repainted under previous ownership. Exterior features include a folding black convertible soft top, left-side mirror and chrome-finished bumpers to match the window trim, door handles, and grille. The seller notes the paint to show some crazing and the badge was installed on the right side of the decklid during the repaint. LIght rust bubbles are present on the right rear wheel arch, on the lower portion of the left front fender, and on the left rear quarter panel.  The bubbles have not broken through the paint and have not changed in size or appearance during the seller’s ownership.

14” steel wheels feature paint-matched hubcaps with chrome beauty rings and are mounted with Cooper Classic tires measuring 185/75 all around. A full-size spare is found in the trunk.

The cabin is trimmed in Caviar MB-Tex (as noted on the datacard) with a matching dashboard and door cards. Signal Red painted trim adorns the front of the dashboard along with natural wood along the top which does show some age. Amenities include a VDO analog clock, an aftermarket digital radio, a locking glove box, and manual rollup windows.

A black two-spoke steering wheel with a chrome horn ring frames VDO instrumentation including a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline, a 140-mph speedometer, and a centered combination gauge. The five-digit odometer shows approximately 90k miles. 

The 2.3-liter M127 inline-six features Bosch mechanical fuel injection and was factory rated at 148 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission. A binder showing service and maintenance records accompanies the car and recent services include an oil service, valve adjustment, new valve cover gasket, every cooling hose, a refurbished radiator, a refurbished overflow tank, a new transmission mount, a new battery, spark plugs, spark plug wires, a distributor cap, points, rotor, condenser, fuel filter, air filter, injection pump air filter, air intake hoses, ball sockets for fuel injection system, a power steering cap seal, a new water pump, all drive belts, and all fluids.
