Looks nice enough, but I question the "professionally-done paint job" when the headlight squirters and bumper beading are painted. Reupholstered seats look nice, but the pleating looks incorrect. Drip rails and door handles are black. A Euro of that year could be either 229hp or 300hp if an S. I think the S would have the spoilers. Could be a nice find if these nits don't bother.

they would bother me - everything about it screams cheap resto to sell. That usually indicates issues with the mechanicals too - in other words, cutting corners and going cheap on the appearance stuff, then that was likely done on the important stuff to keep it running. For example, those intake air tubes look like home depot dryer vent tubes, and they are just crumpled and jammed into the front. Imagine what else has been done in places where you can't see. Gets real expensive fast to make it into a good reliable driver.

But it has a new dashboard overlay that looks factory, plus spare parts that a Certified Mechanic said it didn't need... You know, like a timing belt. Fuel hoses are probably fine, too. Alas, it is on the other side of the country from me.
