A rare survivor in the land of Consumer Reports. I always liked the design of this thing.

I already posted the original eBay ad in the Autotrader/Craigslist/eBay thread.

Although one might be tempted to ditch the ugly US headlights and bumpers and replace them with the better looking Euro versions, I'd rather see this car preserved as-is due to the unicorn-like rarity of a genuine Federal specification SD1.

Somebody in my neighbourhood actually has one of these parked in his driveway under a tarp.  It hasn't moved in years, which is a shame because I'd love to see it restored to original condition.  BTW, it's not for sale.  I've already asked!

When they die I expect you to steal it from their property and restore it to its former glory! ;)
