Comments of this past auction

    Hello, nice ride btw...can you tell me when the coolant was last changed? Are there any leaks to speak of? Thank you.

    • 30.09.2026 16:56

      Hi Pondirosa, we asked the seller and he told us that the car is not leaking anywhere and temperature is stable in any situation in European summer and winterconditions. The seller is not 100% sure when the cooland liquid was changed the last time, but he always serviced the Country and it never made any problems. Hope this brings clarity into your questions. Regards from Hamburg - Moritz Helbich from Kickdown.

        Thank you Moritz for that info... What about shipping to the US? I am located near Seattle, WA. Also, import duties if you know of as well? Appreciate! Peter Mellinger

          15% I see

          • 30.09.2026 17:10

            Any chance of seeing some undercarriage photos?

            • 30.09.2026 17:43

              Has the timing chain been replaced on this low mile example?

              • 30.09.2026 17:25

                Hi Peter, sure, we do provide professional shipping support right to your door / harbour / logistik hub pick up. We can arrange everything for you if you would like to. I asked the seller if he has undercariage pictures. The car is in excellent condition i know it from car meet ups and cars and coffees here in Hamburg. Always a highlight because of condition and the rarity. The technical inspector from the appraisal quoted: "This car is in very well-kept condition and has undergone an extensive restoration. The body is rust-free, and the car is mechanically in excellent condition. Low mileage for its model year." This implies also that the undercariage is in excellent condition without any rust. Hope this helped. Regards, Moritz

                • 30.09.2026 17:48

                  Moritz, do you have an idea of total costs to get it here in the US? $3,000 - $5,000 by sea?

                  • 30.09.2026 18:05

                    Yes more or less 5.000$ is a good guess. It always depends where you want to pick it up or if you want it to be transported right to your door, and how high you want it to be protected but around 4.5-5k$ is realistic.

                    • 30.09.2026 18:01

                      Timing belt not chain in reference to my Q on that service please? Sorry for all the Q's but got in late on this auction. Peter

                      • 30.09.2026 18:07

                        Timing belt was replaced roughly twi years ago for ~1.000$. I also managed to get pictures of the undercarriage. You can find them as last in the picture gallery or under the "mechanical" category.

                        • 30.09.2026 18:20

                          Great to see, looks pretty tidy on the undercarriage. Good to know on the T-belt as well as that would be a concern for sure. Appreciate all the info Moritz. Peter
