History
1978 Sold to Saudi Arabia
2007 imported to the Netherlands for the dentist of the queen
Later owned by a cleaning lady in Nistelrode who used it as a daily driver and parked it outside
2017 owned by garage who used it once for a gala ball, and then parked it in the back of the showroom for 3 years
2023 acquired by me.
Always loved these cars and was surprised by how affordable they are to buy. Dutch gas prices are very high but I have an Audi A4 avant TDI as daily driver so will only drive this 'on sunday'.
I am impressed by some EV conversions (especially the Johnny Cash Rolls) so am open to conversion but prices need to drop and a 'best practice' conversion needs to emerge first.
