Just trawling Donedeal.ie, came across this Aprilia, can anyone shed any light on its history?

There's also a RHD Ardea on same site.

No connection to either seller

On going through the photos, noting the front seat belt installation, anyone tried same on an Aurelia berlina?

I too would be interested in details of the the belts and their fixing; my wife is unhappy travelling in the Appia because of the lack of belts - it would help me to keep the car!
