    Good day All,

    Just documenting these cars... a 5 Speed no less!

    The car sure presents well. I am curious why the series 1 front seats?

    Cheers,

    Probably a simple explanation but, why does the first picture have body colored bumpers and the rest have black bumpers?

    Regards,

    Car in the first picture is not the same car in the rest of the pictures...apart from the bumpers the outside side mirrors are different too!

    Weird?

    39703 is a Series 1 serial number so that would explain the seats as well as the wood dash, mechanical switches and vents on top of the dash. I wonder what is the story.

    First car has a tan dash. The rest are black. Different dash design too.

    rear marker light is in a different position as well....man, this is sounding like a puzzle out of the daily paper...

    I tried to do a search on this very small dealer in Miami; the website and inventory were not impressive; something seems amiss....Doc

    At the very least he posted pictures of two separate cars in the ad. Best case is that it was a "mistake", although that is kind of hard to believe.

    Good day All,

    39703 is now on Ebay...

    Interestingly, there are a couple pics of the interior (seats) which show one with a dark(blue) insert and the other without a contrasting insert... similar issue with the door panel. As Ashman stated... it could be a simple mistake... but I would ask why would you not simply take all brand new pics to minimize the probability of mixing up pictures, but also to correctly and truly represent the car as it is now? Strange...

    Cheers,

    Sam
