Liking the Carrera, totally loving the mk2!

I believe I've driven the same model Carrera 4s Convertible a few times, but was kinda disappointed by the speed, or lack of speed. Could've been cause of the auto-tranny, but I was not impressed really.

i've never seen a finish like this ...even rarely on restored examples..looks like a time capsule from the late 80's..
how many miles has it got ?..couldn't be much more than a handfull i suppose?
