This 998LS is a very late model from May 1978 - and likely one of the very last 998 LSs before the 1275 LS took over. The car was offered for sale by the same seller who had offered an Iridium Green 998LS also on the register here, up at Taree NSW. The seller was asking $6,000 for this silver car at the time (January 2017). This car looks to be in very good original condition (including retaining its original black vinyl roof!), and we hope it has been / gets purchased by someone who wants to preserve its originality.
