    I live around 25 miles North & looked at the car before I determined that I needed an open top. As I remember the clutch was done but no info on the 30K major. Another f-chat member took it for a drive, took many pics, etc. & I've sent him an email to see if he can help. It was on EBay a couple of times & met the reserve once but still is there as far as I know.

    Yes - here is my list - also sent email:

    Wheels on backwards. Probably someone was working on the car without enough knowledge to be dangerous – not afraid to taken them on off etc – but did not notice they are directional rims.

    Someone did a bad body job and removed the front turn indicators (plastic box in trunk holds them see pics). Why? Look carefully in pic 41 and you can see the place they used to be.

    Rear window starting to delaminate – normal – but bad on this one.

    Holes punched in front bumper for license plate – why when you can get a proper bracket? Cracks below punched holes.

    Inside trunk liner lip torn.

    Windshield probably replaced – not Ferrari glass – weather stripping bad – noticeable wind noise inside when driving.

    Electrical tape on hood fasteners – to stop rattle??

    Oil seep from driver side cam seals.

    Scratched interior where “alarm” key goes in

    Scratched door sills – repainted.

    Door seals deformed.

    Sticky interior parts – door handles.

    Creaked sticky air vent.

    When slowing down on test drive – whine present from transmission??
