Faults:

Some hooligan smashed in my left passenger window, it proved incredibly hard to find a secondhand window, a new one was unaffordable since the car is extremely rare in the Netherlands.

General Comments:

It's a unique car, very luxurious. Most people become very excited when they get into the car, they jsut don't expect a car this old to be this luxurious.

Handling of the car is quit good, as long as the corners aren't too tight (it's quit a big car). The acceleration is excellent and the engine is a jewel.

Faults:

Engine cracked head at 155,000km - replaced with a reconditioned motor.

Power steering pump failed at 160,000km.

Paint faded very badly on horizontal surfaces after 12 years in Australian conditions.

New carburettor at 160,000km.

General Comments:

This car would have been brilliant with a better engine (something like a Subaru Turbo Boxer...!). It does lack a lot in acceleration, especially with the automatic slushbox and non-injected engine.

As it is, it has been a superb highway cruiser. Passengers often comment that the seats are the most comfortable they have ever been in. The handling is really quite excellent with the electronic suspension set to "Hard" - turns in beautifully at any speed.
