Body And Paint
The body shows straight original panels overall with good gaps and no notable rust or evidence of prior accidents or filler. The fitment throughout appears to be factory and beyond the minor dent or ding, paint can be found chipping, checking, cracked, and flawed consistently, throughout the car.
Glass And Trim
The glass appears to be all original and free of any major blemishes. The trim is all present and in good driver quality condition and could be polished or cleaned to be enjoyed as-is. The rubber is in surprisingly good condition and could also be used as is with not major seals failing. The front bumper rubber does show some waviness and overall everything is aged, but in a manner acceptable with a highly original example.
Wheels
The wheels are consistently flawed and blemished, but are the correct original Compagnolo wheels with matching spare. The tires are the correct type Michelin XWX’s though aged and cracked.
Notable Flaws
Nothing major stands out, but it should be noted that the exterior cosmetic condition is consistently aged and blemished as to be expected of a highly original never restored example. Good enough to enjoy as-is for a driver quality car, but arguably so.
INTERIOR
Seats And Surfaces
Nothing major stands out, but it should be noted that the exterior cosmetic condition is consistently aged and blemished as to be expected of a highly original never restored example. Good enough to enjoy as-is for a driver quality car, but arguably so.
Functionality And Accessories
Not all functions have been tested it is believed that most of them are in correct working order but one should count on various systems needing some minor tending to if at all simply from lack of use.
Notable Flaws
The interior can be classified as highly original. As such perceived flaws are more marques of originality than material blemishes. The leather is shrunken in areas, scratched and things are generally worn in appearance though nothing is damaged to any degree worth mentioning and the interior remains complete.
ENGINE BAY AND TRUNK
Engine Bay
The engine bay shows as having been serviced with expendable items replaced over time. Nothing is missing and everything from new appears to be present. Overall it is dirty and oily with leaks present throughout as expected from a highly original car.
Trunk Area
Tidy and correct with some peeling carpet but no evidence of any accidents and in original condition overall with some aged areas but no rust noted.
Undercarriage
The chassis is straight and original with no signs of previous repair albeit with some dings and dents from use. The undercarriage shows some leaks throughout but is acceptable for a driver quality car. Many rubber bushings show age and cracking throughout.
Notable Flaws
The exhaust is showing some age, the suspension and brakes need tending to as evident by inspection but again, fundamentally strong, and solid unobstructed original underside.
MECHANICALS
Engine
The engine starts easily, runs strong with little to no smoke once warm and generally quiet. It feels powerful with decent but not perfect throttle response. A healthy exhaust not emanates from the exhaust and the car stays cool overall showing strong oil pressure and temperature.
Transmission
The car shifts easily with good syncro’s from the short testing that has been completed. The clutch works well but the hydraulics likely should be reviewed.
Brakes And Suspension
The brake pedal is hard and not performing as it should and is likely in need of a system wide refurbishment. The suspension while not making excessive noise does show cracked and aged rubber components throughout and is likely in need of a servicing.
Tires
Cracked and in need of replacement, though the correct type.
