Every deal always has to have some negotiation room.
Take notice to the steering wheel. I never noticed the spokes being not in thirds. Maybe it’s just this version
I see that on other early m151 photos. Wouldn’t it be funny if it was because the steering wheel supplier’s design engineer couldn’t do the math
The steering wheel almost matches the peace sign on the Jeep in the garage.
Greetings;
Please advise whether this vehicle is still available. I am interested. If there is anything not mentioned in the data you have provided thus far, please include that with the email.

I am looking to buy an M718 just like this.
Hi Thomas,
I still haven’t seen this M-718 relisted. I suspect it sold and will update the post. I rarely see these come up for sale.
