Do you have any specific areas of concern?

I would do a full service/inspection. There are probably a lot of parts that have't been replaced but are old or degrading. I would start with an oil change, brake flush, and new drive belt. Maybe check the spark plugs and the o-rings on the spark plug tubes. I would drive it for a while and see if you notice any issues before you start preventively replacing 19 years old parts that are almost new. Also take a look at the original break in oil procedure, I think it was every 3k until 15k miles.

Hopefully it did all that sitting in a garage, and was driven regularly but for short intervals versus sitting for long periods of time between being driven.
Looks like the oil was changed annually. All the service receipts are with the car. There are a surprising number of parts that were replaced because they were nonfunctional over the years.

I have no specific concerns except that the rear window is cloudy, and there’s a faint smell of burning rubber when the top is up.

Also, I’m thinking of sending it to Florida for a Spyder conversion.
