The lamp-post jumped out in front of me, Officer!

This is going to take a brave resto.

Hmm, may be just a bit overpriced.

How many turbos came with a Webasto roof?

[Johnson]

Eek! And I thought my car was pretty bad off when I got it....

[c.d.iesel]

WOOF!

" no rust " ?

"Oh the Humanity!!"

I have never seen an 02 with a california roof! Was that an option or an aftermarket addition? Does anyone here have one? I have the California roof on my 318ti & it is really cool, but I can't imagine how cool it would be on the 1600!

[auggiemize]

I get confused about camber and caster, but I think that's toe-in, right?

Probably a Webasto roof; that's the 2nd one I know of on a Turbo and both cars are in the UK.

Webasto was (maybe still is) real popular in the UK and they were added to all sorts of cars. I bought a '74 3.0csi back in early 80s that had one.

The roofs had a tendency, when closed, to balloon up at speed. Can't imagine what the roof would do on a Turbo at 130mph; probably fly off!

[Conserv]

Yes, although I generally worship at the feet of originality, that Webasto is way cool! I'd make an exception.

The car looks like it's been carefully stored and preserved since "the incident." Well maybe not. This thing is a pretty good buy for £2,150! Oh, wait, you're saying I've mis-placed my decimal? No, it's a pretty good buy for £2,150.

If those front seats are still bolted to the floor, their odd stances suggest a badly buckled floor pan.

+1

That's got to be the first I've seen.

That price is nuts and is it me or the engine bay is chamonix and the rest polaris?

It certainly looks white but it might be the lighting: in the views of the car from the rear, the rear deck lid and roof look pretty white as well. But if there has been a color change, I might have to re-think my generous offer of £2,150!

[Gordon]

Wow, at the current conversion rate, that's nearly $33K. I see that the locals are hitting the crack pipe as well on the other side of the pond!

Would the Webasto roof weaken the structure of the car?

[TobyB]

Far less than the lamppost did.

No, it's a pretty good buy for £2,150.
