Overall good condition from previous renovation. The vehicle is free from rust. Bright yellow paint in good condition with red stripes. Glass parts, lamps and chrome look nice. Smaller amounts of stone chips are of course present, but nothing conspicuously bad. The Ronal rims are in good condition and come with approx. 6mm pattern depth.The interior is also in good condition. Instrument panel, controls and buttons look good and all electronics work as intended.Mechanically, the car is in as good condition as otherwise. No leaks have been found. Neat and clean under the hood and with a really nice intake sound from the well-sized Weber carburettor. Brakes are described as being unremarkable.
Service history
The last service was carried out in August 2023. There are no previous service records, but the renovation and the current condition speak for a well-cared-for car.
