Grand-Prix White Carrera in Belgium

The seller of 1974 Carrera 2.7 MFI #0557 that doesn't share much about the Carrera other than it came out of Japan. The Carrera has been repainted at some point along with the later 1976-style electric mirrors fitted to both sides. The original, hard to find chrome fog lights are still present.  Rear badge is missing. The seats have been replaced with later versions that feature the arrow release knobs and a center inlays that continue into the headrests, something not seen until at least the 1977 model year. The rare, original thick-grip Sport wheel is still fitted.

The photos show some of the various Japanese details including the instructional decal on the ignition switch applied by Mitsuwa (the other decals are missing), the special front orange Japanese side reflectors. It is unclear if this was delivered to Japan when new, or imported later, as some of the other typical new-Japanese delivery items are missing, like the Japanese market rear seats. The rear seats may have been replaced when the front seats were redone or replaced.
