I wanted to ask the same:rolleyes: 280's will make good off road rally cars IMO.

Anyway, I've no idea why you want this one Michel apart from interior perhaps. If I may add another observation or two. The car's listed as '79 but the interior, although with sewn pleats and thick door cards, is the early type with different belt buckles to most and thin sided rear cushion bolsters and early indicator stalk and radio antenna up front and armrest on driver's seat (which is missing) and early green fan a/c control. BTW, see how the switches have been swapped, fan for a/c, that's because the vent cable is binding. Why don't they show us an engine pic? The black surround for the Ignition. Can't remember when they came in but not 73, they were chrome. I'm going to say this is a d-jet michel, pre 76 but post 73.

Having said that, to cover my rear I'm also going to say that any number of changes could've been made by previous owners over the years with the sole intention of confusing me.:p

I thought the same as Oscar...1st thing I looked at was the seat belt stalks, dash & seats. It's an earlier car, I'd go as far as to say 75? The interior is the same as my SE and it's a 74/75 spec. It's also got what looks to be traces of mould around the steering wheel, shifter and under the back seatbelts.

Hi guys, you have summed it up pretty well. Personally, I have difficulty in convincing myself as to why anyone would want to buy it - unless it is for spares. A little bit unkind, but that's the way I see it. Regards, Styria
