Finnie 230S

I've not posted here in a long time. But just had to share my frustration with what happend today. Was in Prescott AZ and saw and 'Indie' with a finnie sitting out in his yard. It looked so good I had to go and ask if it was maybe, by chance, for sale. Sadly no. It's a 230S, dark grey with red MB Tex interior, white steering wheel and standard shift four on the floor. Phenomenal physical condition with excellent interior with NO tares anywhere inside. Not the dash, not the seats, doors anywhere. Still the original owner and he brings it in for it's service regular. Which is why I saw it sitting outside today. I've never seen one of these with a four speed manual on the floor before. The color combo was a dream too. If only...

- Peter.

Sounds like a nice car. The finnies remind me of the old cold war movies and Checkpoint Charlie.

Maybe you can leave the guy your name and contact info for the day his customer wants to sell it?
