I have owned and occasionally driven the car since 2016.
Photos show old tires. I just put a new set of Hankook Kinergy 14" 205/70R14 tires on it ($700 value)

In good condition. Registered.
Motor starts immediately and running strong.
Plastic window in original canvas top need to be fixed (an aftermarket canvas replacement costs only $450)
I just installed a new refurbished aluminum body AC Servo, and filled up AC refrigerant. Blowing cold air, but need to check vacuum lines for proper functioning of all heating/cooling features.
Front wheel bearings need attention.
Minor other fixes needed such as replacing a few instrument light bulbs, brake light sensor.
Comes with matching red hard top with tan interior, just de-rusted and touched up the inside.
Rain/dust cover included
The bumpers have been tucked in several inches, so the car is much more compact like with the European bumpers.
