Description
It is finished in white with a dark blue soft top over a dark blue leather interior and is powered by a 1. 9-liter inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transmission. A refurbishment in the late 1970s included a repaint, an interior refresh, an engine rebuild, and a transmission rebuild. Equipment includes power-assisted drum brakes, four-wheel independent suspension, an MW/UKW radio, and a single Solex carburetor fitted in place of the factory twin carburetor setup. Originally light blue (DB334), the body was stripped and refinished in white in 1979. Additional refurbishment at that time included a replacement blue convertible top as well as corrosion repairs in the floors, the spare tire well, and the trunk storage compartment. The left taillight was reportedly replaced in the 1980s, at which time bodywork was performed in the area. The selling dealer notes that the sealed beam headlights do not match. Cracking is visible in the paint around each taillight bezel, and several chips are present around the body. A dark blue top boot will accompany the car, but the selling dealer notes that the pattern of the snaps does not match the snaps on the car.
