    That is a seriously lovely car. Personally, I prefer the standard interior, but those seats look to be a really good fit actually and must have been appreciated all the way to Switzerland and back!

    My brother in law had one of these in Australia back in the 70s after I bought his 71 superbug off of him in 73 , unique driving experience . Gear stick is on a spring and touching the gear stick actuates the clutch via a pneumatic ram , so resting your hand on the gear stick is a no no . I found it easier to drive up steep hills than the manual not having to change down all the time and loosing momentum
