Great photos. I noticed you have read mud guards like my car used to have (they sort of fell apart over time). Where can you get those, do you know?

Again, great car, great looking trip. ...

The first '02 I ever rode in was just like that. Maybe it is that one.

It looked good in 1983...

Second car (bought in 1987) was my Euro 72 tii. Still have it.

I'm enjoying everyone's posts on this one!

Yes, welcome. And thanks for getting an 02 that was just sitting around back on the road.

I like the color combo - very classy. Good luck w/the car; they are the best.

real oem has an image of it. I tried to cut and paste it into here, but it won't work. It's called "lifting jack" and it is in the "equipment parts" (could that be more vague) section.

Saw Mobile Tradition somehow resurrected the "early years" alloy wheels a while back.

Has anyone bought them? What did you think?

What size and brand tires did you choose to go with them?

If you ever sell it on ebay, I believe you would describe the car as having "the beginnings of surface rust in some areas". Add blurry pictures taken in strange lighting conditions.

I did see it and had the same thought - it looked pretty "all there" and not too funky/scary. Wonder what it will go for in the end? The Turbo is really one of the few cars I truly covet.
