Title: Latest acquisition Post by: peterbaker on 09 August, 2016, 01:54:15 PM My series one Gamma Berlina now with Enzo at Autocasa in Coventry, and back in the daylight since 1986. First job, after changing oil, flushing coolant and replenishing with fresh fuel and loosening off power steering pump drive, is to see if the engine runs. Will know in a couple of days. If you know Gammas then you also know, these are interesting times.

That Gamma looks lovely, especially that bright blue interior. Good luck with it. Bob |
