    3rd seat with A/C and power door locks. Looks spotless inside and out.

    Wow, stunning car!!!! This is what I would have been looking for in a 73 CE, but it still fails against some of my expectations. This is not and I repeat NOT a criticism of this car, however it is a pity for the asking price that it does not have the full power tail gate, cruise control or fast glass, or even a BB. On the plus side though, stunning condition, A/C, tilt wheel and third row and get this, a magnificent factory colour other than the creamy yellow that most seem to be. This car is still a lot of car for what it is but is also still a lot of money for what is missing though.

    Yes I do too. It was all of the options that sold me on my 76 thanks John. Hopefully soon it will be equally as sparkly as rrbnuts! What amazed me was I did not know it had a tilt wheel or cruise control until I sat in the thing, kind of the icing on the cake!

    Cheers Mike.

    They say it's located in Ruinerwold, Netherlands. Not that it makes any difference really. It is a beautiful car.

    I also want to know what fast glass is?

    Ha ha:rofl2:, sorry I didn't realize that this term never made its way to the US. "Fast glass" is just a loose term for "electric windows"! It is funny because we never use the term "crank windows" either, preferring the term "wind ups" instead.

    Cheers Mike
