This is a wonderful original type 181. The original paint shines well. The car has lived this way since it was made in 1973. This Thing purrs like a kitten and runs straight and tight down the road. It has been taken care very well and only maintenance items have been replaced. The top and windows are original just like the car. Collector had it in his auto museum for many years.
