- interesting modern interpretation of the panoramic windshield.
- Bad taste wheels (quite common those days, but fascinating contrast here with the raw aluminum body).

Mr.Hartung is the german head of a company called Andorplastics, that still exists and produces motorcycle helmets as I remember.
