This is a tough one. Now, most restorers will ONLY restore a convertible be it a 62 series or a Biarritz. This appears complete including all of the Eldorado goodies. 

I have seen "some" Sevilles go unrestored, many are parted out to support convertibles, and parts hoarders.

Very clean and its not going to cost you 100k to restore.

Beautiful car indeed.  And a bargain compared to the one I posted.  My issue is - I prefer the Series 62 fin to the Seville.  And who cares about performance doo dads?  On a convertible Biarritz yes, but a 2 door hardtop?  Not me, and no disrespect for those that have one, my apologies.  A Seville is a great statement in itself but not a "premium" over a nicely sorted CdV from 1956.
