Factory features include front fender vents, an automatic antenna, headlight wipers, heat-insulating glass, and front fog lights. The seller describes the car to have been kept in exceptional condition, detailed images are provided in the gallery.
The cabin is trimmed in Light Brown leather with matching carpeting, burl wood veneers, and plaid upholstery on the seats and door panels. Driver amenities include automatic climate control, power-operated and heated seats with memory, power windows and mirrors, a deployable roll bar, cruise control, an onboard computer, a remote locking system, dual-tone horns, and a sound system paired with an original Becker Mexico cassette radio.
The 5.0-liter 32-valve M119 V8 engine was rated at 322 HP and drives the rear wheels through a 4-speed automatic gearbox. A collection of documentation accompanies the sale including original maintenance books with stamped service entries.
This sale will include the original owner’s manuals and sales documentation, a toolkit, a spare tire, and a clean title.

Please advise if there has been a RECENT major service due to such low mileage and usage. If yes would be helpful to see service receipt.

@mbaum Yes it comes with a hardtop
@theCarShrink Yes sure we can organise that
@miamiarchitecture Yes some parts of the interior are in actual beige leather
Showstopper! That interior is so tasteful. Ad says the interior is trimmed in light brown leather but I don't see it. Is the door, jambs, and center console actual leather?

Thanks seller. That option was not available in the USA so have never seen it. Cool!
Nevermind my previous question as I see the hardtop in some pics.
I might have missed it, but does the car come with it's hardtop?

@brownan This is not a rallye computer but an original option which is the trip computer. This was available as an option on all R129 models. We have just uploaded a few pictures form the original trip computer manual.
No mention of what I think is a likely very expensive rallye computer. Gorgeous car and what a color combo.
