Selling advice...

I'm getting ready to sell a car that I found locally and I was wondering just how prized originality is with these cars. The car in question is a 1987 Cabriolet with 35K miles on it. It is a one owner car with zero mods etc. It was owned by a guy who was not anal about the car, but serviced it properly and cared for it. It is not flawless, but it really nice, and is totally original, paint included.

The question I had was with regard to the top. It too is original and is in need of replacing. It's not terrible but there are two small holes in it from wear. Should I replace it prior to selling or leave it in the spirit of originality?

I think you ought to leave it be Sojah. You can repair the top in black and a prospective buyer might prefer grey. I say leave it to the buyer to repair... they'll get it he way they want it then. You might even make a little more money if you price it right.
