Once unlocked, there’s a vacuum-operated switch that releases the gullwing driver’s door and it raises automatically to allow access.
A common conversion has been carried out here, with the ponderous hydraulic door opening system having been replaced with a speedier and more reliable pneumatic system.
The air tank is hidden in the rear bumper and the system works very well. Avoid getting clonked on the head and you’re greeted by an amazingly kitsch cabin. Beige and brown vinyl dominates, with complementary cloth inserts to the seat centres.
All the fabrics look to be in good order, with minimal wear and no major damage we could see.
The same can be said of the brown, deep-pile carpets. Black rubber mats sit atop them to offer a little extra protection. The slab-fronted six dial dash has a hint of Ford Capri to it and features the original radio-cassette, which is a lovely period detail. Everything is in good order and of a style definitive to the mid-1970s. It really couldn’t be anything else.
