Exterior
This 2002tii was factory-finished in Malaga (021) and was repainted under prior ownership circa 2014. It has European-specification bumpers, vent windows, dual side mirrors, chrome trim, and round taillights. The right-rear quarter window was replaced in 2024 along with the trunk and vent-window seals. It has Silver-finished 13″ steel wheels with chromed hubcaps fitted with 185/70 Vee Rubber City Star-V2 tires in preparation for the sale. Bilstein shocks and lowering springs have been added, and the car was equipped from the factory with front and rear anti-roll bars. Braking is provided by power-assisted front discs and rear drums, and the fluid reservoir and the booster line and check valve were replaced in 2024.
Interior
The reclining front bucket seats and the rear bench are upholstered in black leatherette with textured inserts. It has gray replacement carpeting installed under current ownership. Additional appointments include a Lucas Audio cassette radio, a heater, a rear window defroster, and a MotoMeter clock. Photos of a dashboard and separated seat-upholstery seams can be viewed in the gallery. The three-spoke E21 steering wheel frames a 120-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,400-rpm redline as well as gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 64k miles, approximately 300 of which were added under current ownership.
Mechanicals
The 2.0-liter M10 inline-four features Kuglefischer mechanical fuel injection and was factory rated at 130 horsepower and 133 lb.-ft of torque in European specification. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. The car was reportedly refurbished in 2014, and work under current ownership included changing the fluids, resealing the fuel tank, and replacing the driveshaft center support, tires, window and trunk seals, braking and ignition components, and more as detailed below.
