We were out of the country on vacation in March of 1996 and returned home to find it had arrived. Silver and black. After flying for eight hours, I was wayyyyy to excited to wait another day so we drove down to the dealer to see it. It hadn't even been cleaned yet. It was beautiful. 21 years later, it has less than 30,000 miles on it. Never been in the rain. Original everything. They only upgrades were a new antenna and an upgraded dealer installed cd player and speakers including a subwoofer. I had a new convertible top installed after one year (factory recall). I love it more than ever. The only issue I have is the drivers seat movement, and I will be repairing it this winter.
