• Small chip in windshield which I sealed with glass repair

Wow. If I were not already committed to my project, this would already be in my garage. Very nice.

Beautiful car at a very reasonable price. I'm glad I live over 1600 miles away.

As someone who has bought much cheaper cars and is waist deep in repair and maintenance, I can advise a prospective buyer that you will be way better off buying a car like this than buying a lesser car and getting it to this level.

Good luck and best wishes.

Where did you pick up the Bertone shifter? Those are one of the few non spherical shifters I have liked besides the one early Miatas originally came with.

Looks great, good choices on showing the typical rust areas of concern on an X.

Thanks. I got it from Britain. I also have the correct "beer tap." In addition to the right outside mirror, I also will include the needed glass with the hole.
