  That’s been oh-so-satisfying to watch! And boy did that little engine sound much happier afterwards… This is possibly your best video yet, loved it!

  I was bent over a little T this morning too. 1950. Same colour. Spectacularly simple. And, that it was made in Italy, just warmed my heart. Above the temp we had in B.W. today of 34. Charming little car. Great video too. Schwiezerdeutsch war ausgezeichnet. Ich war selber wor eine Woche da. Grüße Mike

  Very nice. In a 20 min video you've got the topolino running as sweet as your Carrera. Well done,

  Methodical, skilled and highly satisfying tinkering. I'm sure the little car was very grateful. 😊

  I ran a green 1953 LHD 500C (Registration SXL93) for a couple of years back around 1968. It was a devil for cooking its brakes every now and then and once let me down in the middle of nowhere on a Sunday afternoon when the fabric propshaft universal joint ripped apart. Other joys were hanging the car by the cylinder head for a week only to belatedly discover a domed stud nut in a waterway covered in gunge that was stopping the head from coming away from the block. It served me well though, but driving from north London to South Shields with motorway only for the first third was a drag. Even on the motorway the best I could achieve was 55mph. Happy days.
