Market commentary
With the top up this is a funky early car, almost a caricature. With the top down it is sleek and sporting. Have it both ways with your sweetie by your side (and her mother in the back), it has style and sporting appeal and is a car that would be ideal to refresh mechanically and drive. It won''t impress a Pebble Beach judge, but the rest of the world will think it''s sweet.
