The only advice i would give you about that car is to try not to get stuck in traffic on a hot day. My dad had one awhile back and since its air cooled it would just overheat in those type of spots. But its one of my all time favorite cars :tup: Got any pics? ---

My dad has one, no issues with it whatsoever, and never overheats either. He has it in Europe now, and even after flying down the road there at a constant 130+ for hours, then getting stuck in Rome rush-hour there were no overheating issues. Only thing I would keep in mind with that car is that it’s pretty expensive to maintain, and the previous guy might have skimped on it. Even routine stuff can be pricey, like check to see how many quarts of Mobil 1 are required for an oil change… 😉 X… ---
