well well Please see all the photos and after a brief correspondence via e-mail, I went to see her in person at Canvey Island near London, taking with me my mechanic Maurice, my girlfriend and her friend Sara Federica native english. The car is in good condition, both inside and outside 1) Test-Drive is performed me from my mechanic, a positive outcome, engine loose and fluid exchange. Arrows, lights, air conditioning, and whatever else of electronic everything works, brand-new wheels and rims in perfect layer, water oil, etc. All ok (according to my mechanic). The property is in good condition with no signs of an accident even with a layer of rust that will remove aa reprocessed by special varnish. The documentation of the DMC is about 1 kg and a half between upgrade and coupons, as having been imported from Texas was used by Tony (former owner) to go to work every day. PG Grady Europe, has done to give me a quality certificate which states that it has overhauled the whole machine and ensure its good condition. All nice and flowery? I would not say .. The car was paid for and having passed the property, remained a single detail .. how to get here? Since it is not easy to pick her up at the person as in Germany, after 2 weeks of testing to ensure this, the test plates, cardboard and temporary assurance, I decided to have it shipped. Through my Veteran Car Club Pistoia and Emanuele Umberto I found a good carrier at an affordable price that I brought the car in Pistoia, albeit with a nice souvenir on the front bumper .. grated to a fine paint that will restore. I think I will follow the path of my mentor Cineman then will disassemble things simple and clean the car very carefully, before submitting the intricacies of the engine and electrical equipment which now works fine, but I would change a little ' of "cooked tubes or wires taped to voile.
