The cormorant was optional but available. The sun visor is aftermarket - the factory option one doesn't have the hinges on the sides, curves to the drip rail. Overall looks nice, the two trim changes noted while not original blend in pretty well.

Let's see the interior!

Bill Hirsch reproduces them but is currently out of stock. Cap and cloisonne sold separately. That's an expensive clip failure.

There are three front bumper styles in the 22nd series - you have the middle one. "Open mouth" with chromed center sections.

Frontier Resin did a 1/25 22nd series Custom 8 convertible.

Convertibles, hatchbacks, coupes still exist, but they are few.

22nd-23rd series cars were resin cast (not diecast) in HO (1/87)

The 35 120's carry the sidemounts very high like that
