Fugly because one of the former owners decided to roll the car in something resembling the old Sharp lozinge blackcurrant colour and made a horrible job of it, so its orange peel galore and a rather less than nice colour.
I had the basic knowledge of the details beforehand, but I was pleasantly surprised when it came. It has had a camper interior somewhere in its history and is registed as a camper and have the full width backseat bed. Its MOTed this year and have fresh brakes, CV joints and some other front end work as well as the the humongous sunroof, so no surprises there.
The surprises came with diff locks on both ends, captains chair with a swivelling front passenger one, new starter, clutch and the Puch marks and a registry in the North of Norway where they dont salt the roads and according to my buddy it dont have much rust...
Took it for a two hour drive around the neighbourhood back and logging roads and its a very well behaved vehicle.
Needs a bit of fiddeling in the gear linkage department (sloppy shifting) and a look at the frontlights as they went out a couple of times when I was on the manual switch (it has a automatic driving light), so needs to be switched to manual to get the highlights to click on, also in need of a proper washing both inside and out.
Anyhow, I`m quite exited and will give it a more thorough inspection tomorrow.
