It actually looks pretty smart (if it's you're thing) until the picture of the engine bay.

I wouldn't have it myself, and think the 201 is an awful car (awaits backlash) but it looks like someone's loved it a bit.
If I were 20 and silly (again) I'd not mind having it.

Check out the exhaust.
Looks a bit like a Koenig kit. Or maybe Strosek?

At Least The Guy Is Honest!
It was painted yellow before and it came through a little bit on the roof, , It also needs a few other things: The tires are wider than normal and when you turn around a sharp corner they will rub off of the wheel well, so in order to fix this, you have to shave down the kit on the inside or get smaller tires. The AC fan currently is not working, You can usually get one of these at a junkyard for about $35.00, and the AC will also need a charge. The exhaust manifold also has a crack, The back windows, fog lights and sunroof arent working, probably a electrical problem. The hood pull cord is not hooked up, so it is currently locked in first stage (Not completely shut). The rims with also have to be refinished.
Once this baby is fixed up, you will be the talk of the town. The main problem is the tires rubbing around sharp turns.
I have highlighted the parts I like the best. The winner is deffo "hood pull cord is not hooked up, so it is currently locked in first stage (Not completely shut)".
The guy has obviously just run out of steam on the restoration but seems to give an honest appraisal of his car, unlike many of the dishonest sellers on Ebay. So credit to him for that.
