It was part of my small collection. I have sold most of them. This will become my fair weather driver since I do not expose it to winter weather in the Reno/Tahoe area.
I like the smoothness and the very well done appointments. The top is very nice to watch and great for cruising on slower byways. I prefer the top up at high speeds. The finish is still beautiful after 32 years. I did have to replace the convertible top cylinders.. It still gets lots of compliments and everyone wants to drive it. Dream on! I replaced the stereo which was one of the cars few short comings. I also installed AMG styed wheels.
