Hi Mondi.

Yes I know that, there should be only 10 to 15 units left I guess, but I would really like to know if there is some kind of register of these cars, I would happily register mine there.

Bought this car around 15 years ago, from the second owner.

This Cossie was very lucky to come to my hands, otherwise at this time it would probably had already disappeared, because the previous owner was not a careful guy and the car was a little neglected.

Since I acquired it I changed the original cylinder head gasket that had a passage , placed new set of valves and guides, ARP bolts and group A new reinforced head gasket, and over halted everything, like new timing belt, water pump, tensioner, all pickups and sensors, etc….that was in 2012.

From 2012 until 2024, the car drove around 5.000 kms only, and one week ago I’ve changed again the Gates timing belt and tensioner.

The belt was like new, but it was time to change it again.

Every year, I change the oil and filters regardless of the millage of my cars, the oil I use on my cars is always either Castrol 10w60 or LiquiMoly 10w60.

I’am not a professional mechanic but I know how to handle these kind of issues, so I do all the major tasks by my self on my garage, I own other several classic cars and had to learn how to be a mechanic 😂

I will post a couple of photos of this last overhalt.

if anyone knows more information about the number of these cars left I would really appreciate 👍

Best

Jorge
