All fluids are noted to be fresh and current as well. Features include a power sunroof, factory air conditioning, an original Becker Europa radio with cassette, a Hirschman power antenna, and power windows in the front and rear.

Exterior features include a Hirschman power antenna, dual side mirrors, polished windshield washer nozzles, and glass fog lamps.
