Beautiful car, what a great color combo. Absolutely agreed on the regular driving with classics, I bought an ‘83 BMW last summer and I swear half its annoying little issues come from having been parked non-running with a bad motor for some length of time (i don’t know) and then still not being driven that much once it… Read more
