I bought this vehicle in January of 2013. I was told it needed "a bit of work". After delivery, I noticed a few things not working correctly, I took it to my mechanic, a fellow in Reno, NV who specializes in "older" European, mainly German and UK vehicles. It went through extensive repairs during the spring of 2013. it is now fully sorted with the exception of a working clock. Invoices showing the work are available on request.

My intention was to keep it, drive it, and be prepared for many questions everywhere I go. But circumstances have changed and I find myself working out of the country during driving season. Kept in a garage under cover, (included) has been started and moved every week or so during the winter. Very nice car cover is also included. Very fair reserve and car is priced to sell. .Mileage shown might change slightly as vehicle is driven a few miles weekly if weather permits, just to keep things moving.
