Description from the seller, in Finnish.

Mukava auto ajella. Juuri heitetty semmonen 2500km Lapin reissu ja toimi niinkuin kuuluu. Yllättävän siistikorinen yksilö. Pohjakin oli muovien alta ihan ruosteeton ja hyvässä maalissa. Vaihdettu V- keula, tosin ei ihan niin hyvin asennettu kun vähän irvistelee ja pellin avaus vipu vielä vanhaa mallia. BC Racingin säädettävä etupää. Uskon että takapäätä hieman tiputettu staarilla.. 18 kesäpyörät ja kumeilla ajettu 3000km ja viimeisen kuvan vanteet mukaan jossa aivan kaljut kumit ja yksi vanne halki. Kuskin ovessa ja takalasin alla pienet ruosteen alut mutta ei todellakaan mitkään isot. Sen verran vikoja tiedän että käsijarrun vaijerit on venynyt niin ettei se pidä, kardaanin tukikumi aika selvä kun täryttää. Laatikossa ei toimi manuaalipuoli mutta eipä oo tullu perehdyttyä kun ei oo sille käyttöä.. Kone vaihdettu ja ajettu 100 tonnia vähemmän kun mittarissa on. Tästä oli joku lappunen, myös ilmajouset ja kompura vaihdettu jokunen vuosi sitten. Öljypohjan tiiviste valskaa ja hieman merkkailee. Kun ei sattunut olla kun vaihdoin öljyt. Ja on muutenkin tää kurahaara moottori niin aina vähän tiputtelee sieltä ja täältä.. Kone käy lämpöisenä terävästi luulen että johtuu venttiilin nostimesta.. uusilla öljyillä ja venttiilinnostimen lisäaineella hiljeni todella siitä mitä oli.. Mutta joo ei ole pakko myynnissä. On hieman kallis ajaa 16km työmatkaa ja olisi haaveissa joku pienempi bensa auto..
