This is the rarer hard-top, a more rigid body and also weatherproof, not like the targa tops.
Starts first time, every time even after more than a month in garage
I’ve owned the car for just over 11 fun years and it has been a ton of fun. Get into a comfortable bucket seat, look in the rear vision at those neat turbo grilles in the bonnet, grab the momo steering wheel, listen to the exhaust note – so cool and haven’t even left the drivewayJ
