She is a '65 4 banger vintage collectors' Alpine princess. James Bond drove one in "Dr No" because it was the only cool car on the island, and Elizabeth Taylor drove one in "Butterfield Eight". We've driven her up and down the coast here, and up on Palomar Mountain (altitude 6000 feet) she takes the winding roads like a champ; on such days she covers well over 150 miles without a hitch, and is fun to drive on mountain roads as well as cruising along the coast...she reminds us of old Porches or the old Fiat Pina Farina 850S . Moreover, don't forget there is an extra tranny, her original long crank for hand starting (!), and a huge mechanics' chest full of extra parts all organized in 6 drawers (we have never had to go looking for any parts in there so I don't remember) AND an extra windscreen, The mechanics chest is made of wood and is over 5' H X 2'W X 3' D ...heavy- on rollers. the drawers unstack easily.
Wemust add that, as in all Craigslist buying and selling, we will accept cash or cashier's check only... pick up in North County San Diego.
''Princess'' would stay with us forever if we had our "druthers" but maybe your place is her new castle.
Many thanks,
Elle & Paul
