Lot's of mods and changes. And mostly ghastly ones.

So if it drives as well as he says, you should still negotiate hard if you like the OEM route. Because you will have to throw out a lot of the trim currently on the car.


Pre-facelift de-chromed with kit, wrong headlights.
Is the dash cover hiding a cracked dash?
And the rare Recaro seats are ripped.
The rear bumper is bent in the middle?

Even the left shock strut cover/plastic cap is fake. 8O

But then, don't know how you like your cars. And what is a good price for a unmolested example there, engine upgrade notwithstanding.

I am guessing it was/ is a 320 or 323 (or worse !) looking at the distributor ignition and battery in the front. I would keep looking.........
