The car began life as a four-door sedan and has been converted into a two-door Decapotable-style convertible. The bodywork was repainted in the current shade of gold during previous ownership, and the seller notes that the hood was repainted in 2020 and that the front bumper was straightened and polished at that time. Exterior details include a dark brown soft top and light brown boot cover, chrome bumpers and side mirrors, dual exhaust outlets, quad taillights, and European-spec glass-covered headlights with swiveling inboard lenses. Pitting on various pieces of brightwork can be seen up close in the gallery below, along with chipped paint on the left door jamb.
The 15” steel wheels wear chrome covers and are mounted with 185-width Vredestein Sprint Classic tires. A full-size spare is located in the engine compartment. The car rides on self-leveling hydropneumatic suspension, while braking is handled by power-assisted inboard front discs and rear drums. The handbrake cable was reportedly adjusted in 2020.
The individual front seats and rear bench are trimmed in light brown leather upholstery that extends to the door panels. Darker brown carpets line the floors, and amenities consist of power steering, a Koolaire under-dash air conditioner, a Jaeger analog clock, and lap belts for the front occupants. Chipping paint with underlying corrosion is present on the steering column and lower driver-side dashboard.
A single-spoke steering wheel frames a 200-km/h speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, auxiliary displays, and an array of warning lights. The five-digit odometer shows 51k kilometers (~32k miles), around 4k of which were added during current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The carbureted 2.1L inline-four sends power to the front wheels through a column-shifted five-speed manual transaxle.
