I wonder if this person is a broker or has a bunch of these. When I was in the market around February, or early March, I remember this pitch line "runs great and has the smallest turning radius of any car I've driven (even my Mini)." I could swear it was a blue car on the block at the time.

After this car was posted on craigslist a couple months ago, I contacted the seller and requested a few more pictures. Since the car was a Euro import I was concerned as to where it had come from and when.

He kindly replied and provded a few pics of the rockers and front fenders. The car had been imported in the early 1980s from The Netherlands. After seeing the pics of what I might call "typical rust-belt pattern rust," and some questionable, attempted "rust repair," I turned him down.

Keep looking...

The first 02 I ever owned was a 75 Sahara Euro spec 1802 when I was stationed at Sembach Air Base Germany in the early 80's. I drove that car all over Europe. That's the car that I picked up 02 disease from, unfortunately there is no cure... and I'm still driving a Sahara square tail light 02.

Interesting that it has exact US-spec reflectors in the correct locations. Seems like most of the Euro cars I've seen either don't have reflectors at all or have some sort of non-stock-style ones.

True, but it depends on how legit the importer was. I worked at a gray market shop back in the 80's and EVERYTHING dot was added to the cars that went through our shop.
