What the photos show
- white paint is glossy and even with bright chrome all round, no paint or chrome bill showing
- red leather seats front and rear look excellent with no splits or sagging, no need to reupholster
- dash wood is dark and glossy and the ivory wheel is clean, no dash money needed
- the red top boot fits neatly, but the soft top itself is never shown raised, so the soft top can't be judged
- trunk is carpeted in red and looks clean with the spare under its cover, no trunk bill
- a small rust spot shows at the base of the windshield pillar in one shot, a tiny repair before it grows
- five of the sixteen sampled photos would not load and one more was cut off, so part of the gallery can't be judged
- the engine bay is not shown in the viewed photos, so the engine bay can't be judged
- no underside photo is in the viewed set, so the underside can't be judged
Money: no price is listed, and the visible car is a beautiful white-over-red 3.5 cabriolet, so the money risk sits in the unseen soft top, engine bay and underside, all worth photos before paying 3.5 money.
