Like a lightning bolt, there was suddenly HLS30-00023.
Before, I bought HLS30-00954 from an international dealer, I did not see the car, but it was worse than I expected.
So I complained and the gentleman who had sold me the car said he would make it right. And he did, much more than I expected. After a few weeks I suddenly got a Whatsapp message with pictures of HLS30-00023, I was so surprised and happy with such an early car. Because by now I had become fascinated with cars produced in the very beginning, and the many changes made at the factory during the production of the first hundreds of cars.
When HLS30-00023 came in, a major inspection immediately followed, and it came to light that the radiator panel and right interior screen had been replaced with parts from a later car. Battery acid had also destroyed the bottom on the right side considerably. After an intensive restoration, the car is now ready. Meanwhile, the rubber mats that were supplied in the first 1500 cars on the North American market are also available and fitted. Also, the aftermarket rubbers have now been replaced with our own manufacture of original door rubbers installed. On the 25th of October, the car was tested by Miyazaki San and Ton Roks from Octane. Also, all the members of S30.world The Platform drove with the car on that day.
What makes the car special is its light weight, it lacks various reinforcements in the body In the trunk lacks the burlap sound damping and insulation mats. In addition, the car has 6 holes behind the seats, the inspection panels were modified on the production line and much more that makes this car so unique. It has also no vapor tank, so the tank for this car is the least complicated one that is available.
For us, this car is so special that it should stay in the collection forever!
