Great Car. I was the second high bidder on this car but lost out to Colin. He did a great job with the restoration. A few points to clafify on 1971 w30 convertible production.
Someone made an incorrect assumption of these cars that only 10 were equipped with AC. As an owner of three 1971 W30 converts I ave been doing reserach on this particular model for 30 years. I have kept records on every car through auctions and at car shows. To date my data includes information on 65 of the 110 cars believed to have bben built (I say this as there is no known proof of counting exports (3) and Canadian sold cars (9). I also have incomplete data on 12 more cars. Of the 65 most are restored, or in original or presentable condition. 2 cars are confirmed early write offs by early owners. Of those 19 are Autos with AC and 21 are 4 speed with three of these known to have bben converted from Automatic. The survival rate of 71 442 Converts is above industry average
You have a great car and faily priced for the current market.

The car is simply stunning. I know this car well and have driven in the car. It's not just a trailer, but well sorted out and performs. Prior to the restoration it was a solid car with no issues and after a meticulous restoration it came out amazing. Great looking, very well equipped, bullet proof docs and provenance.

I love the front of the 1971 and 1972 442's best. Very nice car.
