Sure, a manual would be better, sure there are better looking cars than the Eclat, but I'd take it in a heartbeat for a realistic price, and I think that one would be realistic. It looks solid and unmolested, which in today's world is a welcome change from "started restoration, lost interest."
I kind of like the look and with some TLC, that thing could be a real gem. It's a head turner, that's for sure.
BTW- I like the way that vendor provides information- more is better, and seems to want to make sure you any flaws up front.
