Thiscarhas aged well. It does haveits nuances. It doesnot like to go until it has time to warm up (typically 3 minutes from a cold start), nd it will tell you when it's ready witha slight rev of it's engine. It is a fun vehicle and does get many comments when out in public.The car wants to run everyday and starts first crank when operated daily. Let it sit for a few days and it typically takes a couple tries before it is ready to go. When driving, irst gear, t gets its momentum and once in second, thas the power toaccelerate very quickly.It will require a home that will maintain itsneeds andtake care of it, o keep it running and looking as good as it does for a 28 year old vehicle.
