Beater turned perfecto! After buying this car from a youth minister at Aviano AB in Italy, I've made it an autostrada travel car once again.

New valves, pistons, gaskets, radiator, battery, thermostat, belts, mufflers, shocks, brakes, charged A/C, MP3/CD,

hubcaps, and tires. This is my first European car, and I hope to keep it for another tour. Incredibly smooth ride, better that my car back home in storage.

If I end up back in the states, I'll be looking for another 190E...
