Next up is TÜV and some other bits and pieces... Wheels need to be in the papers, engine plastic under-tray that I bought ... A long time ago ... needs to go on. Brake fluid change too :)


After that, enjoy it for the rest of the summer and park it for winter... Next year I have some plans to do some upgrades. Depends on money though of course :)
 
Great news!

Luigi got TÜV and even received the Historic TÜV approval :) Next weeks I will put on the new H plates!

As a reward I took the car for a Nürburgring lap and then took friday off work and did a 150-200km tour around the Eifel with a friend :)

Shit man, what? I must be getting old… that car can’t be that old yet, come on!
Also H with that color? Is that an original color? Or does that not matter? I somehow thought it would…

Aw yisssh?
Luigi Connery?

Luigi Connery?

Apparently not... It depends on who does the inspection I suppose...

It is probably a 1990 car but was first registered in 1991 ... That makes it 32-33 years old :-D

Looks really good underneath for its age now, too.
 
The light bar enhances the pareidolia.
