Hi Mike,
That looks like a nice car!
Quite a long list of options. I had a hard time figuring out the 3rd one in the com/con list… rear window defroster… a rare one!
BOY! You made a quick decision!!!!
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan

Looks like it's had side exhaust added; they certainly look great on 69 cars!

Thanks Guys, Yes Allan it was a fast decision but it's condition and how it drove was the deciding factor! It truly is a nice example. I'm told Daytona yellow with the green interior is rare also. After some research I think the seller is right, as someone in the states has the same combo claiming 1 of 1 LOL!
Cheers
Mike

I pick up my c3 from the seller today and drive it to it's new home (approx 100miles) It hasn't been driven since 2010 when it was restored. I will take a few pics on the way!
Looking like sunny skys is forecast!
Really excited!
Cheers
Mike
