Gotta love the "cyclops" headlights, a real distinctive feature.

Not bad at all. It has some r ust issues..but obviously pretty well taken care of. Its just a hair bit higher in the front end than mine still. But its nearly level. Thats what I'm talking about. When its level..and has some 15x 5.5 rims ith 205/60-15's or 205/55-15's...its all the car needs. Ray

Yep, it looks like it needs a little work, but it's not bad considering England doesn't have the best conditions for preserving cars. Anyway, the price is a steal for sure-around $1500 US. In my opinion, the very first 411's were the best looking. The "cyclops" lights and having the emblem on the hood are much more stylistically sophisticated and relates more to cars that came later than when they changed things to the quad-sealed beam lights and moved the emblem, plus added those two lines to the nose. It was a step backwards that makes the car look much older. Luckily, a US spec car could be converted, but the genuine article is just that much better. I wonder how much it would cost to ship to and register in the U.S.? :wink:
