The car was finished from the factory in Irish Green (6606) and was repainted red under previous ownership. Equipment includes front and rear bumperettes, bright trim, dual side mirrors, a fender-mounted antenna, and a vented engine cover. The windshield washer system was repaired in 2018 and one of the tail lights is said to have been replaced under current ownership. There is adhesive residue on the rear panel and scratches on the roof.
Fuchs-style 15″ wheels are mounted with 195/65 Pirelli P6000 tires that were installed in 2018. Stopping power is handled by four-wheel discs. Work in 2018 included replacing the brake lines, brake master cylinder, CV boots, and wheel bearings.
The cabin features seats and door panels upholstered in black vinyl with a color-coordinated dashboard and carpets. Features include red lap belts, silver dashboard trim, a Blaupunkt AM/FM stereo, and pop-out rear windows. The pedal cluster and heating system components were repaired in 2018. The driver’s side window crank is missing a piece of trim.
The Nardi wood-rimmed steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation with aluminum trim rings, including a centrally-mounted tachometer, a 120-mph speedometer, auxiliary gauges, and an analog clock. The five-digit odometer shows 58k miles, approximately 500 of which were added under current ownership. True mileage is unknown.
The replacement flat-four has been increased in displacement and was rebuilt by European Performance Engineering of Natick, Massachusetts in 2018. The dual Weber carburetors were also rebuilt at that time, and additional service included refreshing the fuel and ignition systems and replacing the battery. A valve adjustment and oil change were performed in June 2022.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle that was fitted with a replacement first gear synchro, clutch, flywheel, and seals in 2018. The seller notes a leak from the transaxle and describes intermittent rough shifts into first gear. Patches were added to the floor pans during previous ownership, and additional underbody photos are provided in the gallery.
