AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Not original painture, but in very good condition. No accident car. Engine and gearbox in excellent condition. No leaks, excepting a small one from cooler, which requires from time to time a reduce quantity of liquid. Battery is good, starting without problems. Interior is in excelent and original condition.
I would prefer that the buyer will arrange the transport, but i can also help in this matter. The car location is Ploiesti, Romania - European Union.
Body and paint - body is very good and it has no rust with very small exceptions that i attached în pictures, the paint is not the original one, but it is in very good condition. The car had no accident.
Tehnical condition - condition of brakes, suspension, belts and clutch is very good. No problems at last year tehnical inspection and no clacs. Engine runs perfectly with no smoke or oil consumption. Gearbox changes are normal and it is working properly. It starts well in hot or cold condition, just always use the shock at first start when cold. No leaks of any oil, brake fluid or fuel. It had a minor leak of cooling liquid and i changed the water pump, now only small loose through the cells of radiator but just needs small add from time to time. New one is around 100 euro, anyway.
Interior condition - state of upholstery, seats, headliner, dashboard and door cards is really perfect and original. It has the Mayfair gray plush upholstery. Everything is original with exception of glass roof with mechanical opening and the floor mats. No major electric problems, only sometimes the blinker does not work even that the hazard lights are working normal.
Documentation - i attached the car documents. The registration is on my name, as sole owner in Romania. Previously it had 2 owners in Italy. The car was from 1991 to 2024 in Italy (garage car) and from 2024 in Romania in my possesion, also kept in garage and used only on Sunday and at car events.

However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road.
