mmmmmmmmm. Not to sure.  Like the accessories but not won over by the concept.  What you say?

I don't like it.  Notice the cars this place sells are mostly very poor run down over priced cars.  Some have potential but most are so over priced you would be upside down before you start...

One may like the the dashboard or not, but this is something reversible, I guess. But for the rest it looks like a lot of external make up and very poor structure. The undercarriage is all rotten. In other words a superficial renovation that the ZF5 speed is supposed to sell

Interesting choice.  Not my cup of tea but guess it would please some.  The four pot was always a bit underpowered

This one is in SoCal, and I have even seen it on the street a couple of times, and at the hot rod shows of course.

Not my cup of tea, as Andy so aptly puts it.

I never did like the 190 ... Glad the Pagode/pagoda surfaced in 1963 ... As most of us are
