beautiful!
Looks like it's in great shape.
almost...the cooling-system is broken right now but July should bring relief ;)
har har, the cooling-fluid pissed on smarties feet while ***
it works! it works! even got a working fan now, a pleasure I never had since owning this bag of...uhm, this fine italian car ;)
still going...was on vacation with it and drove 800km in one week. speedo doesn´t work, but who cares. something sucks empty the battery, so you have to unplug it at night, but who cares.
;)
needs some rubber parts and a paintjob...hmm. but who cares ;)
passed the MOT or how its called. only complaint - old tires. i was surprised a bit to pass without major problems :)
oh, and I have a new exhaust, after the old one fell off (rust). one without silencer. but no one cared at the MOT. I am a lucky guy, I guess ;)

smartie used to own:
'68 Fiat 124 Spider AS, 1400cc, 90hp.
condition...well, see yourself...originally a very beautiful car.
1976 Mini 850 L, taken from a friend who stopped restoring it, but sold it after one year of doing actually nothing. shouldn´t have ripped it apart.
'61 Vespa 150GS, bought from old man who had it in his garage for 20 years and never drove it. engine was stuck, but everything else was ok. Can you imagine I sold this just to get "prince charming" (see my other rides)? Man, was I stupid...
This is smartie's friend's rides:
'68 Giulia Sprint GT (aka "Bertone").
one of the greatest rides I´ve ever driven. This car is 38 years old, but has disc-brakes, 5 gear-transmission, aluminium engine and in this slightly modified version yellow Koni-shocks, ATS alloy-wheels and is lowered abt. 30mm.
The engine is taken from an 1800 Alfetta and is _slightly_ modified, so the car churns out about 140hp.
unbelievable, how competitive this car still is. I must have one ;)
