Not molested by previous owners. lots of important small detail. I'm an old Alfa /  BMW guy. this is a good solid Spider. Recently found sleeping 20 years! I know these cars and drive an ‘83 everyday. Please check my feedback.

Sump guard. transmission shifts smoothly. d/s good. no knocks. good steering and suspension. drives and brakes straight. bilstiens.   Speedo works. intermittently noisy. have disconnected cable at counter box. have cover and machine screw; tach inaccurate.
