The original and sought-after 2.8-litre series six-cylinder with 170 hp and the four-speed transmission were overhauled, the injection pump was revised in 2025. After the import, the vehicle was completely repainted in a light-eleven leg. The body is well maintained, the partly restored interior with newly leathered seats is well preserved. A hardtop in moderate condition and an additional set of sport rims are included. Original calculations document the work. Interesting for buyers looking for a technically revised pagoda with H-marks.
