I am sorry you sold the ivory one.
But you are right, it is no use to keep them locked away and not drive them.

We did get the green one from it's place. First it didn't want to. Sticking brake. Than i tried the manual fuelpump....nothing... i checked the dipstick in the tank... les than 2 litres so the pump won't be very able in bringing it up.... Postive thing the fuel didn't smell bad. Just got a new battery for it... will try again later.

New story with the ivory one. The new owner came to me to compare something in the clutch assembly with my green 57. We drove of and at the first corner i told him i smeel petrol. So we stopped. The fuel filter was coming loose. So we stuck it in again and drove of 1 kilometer further car starts spluttering and it died. So check again. Now the two ends of the filter tube broke off. No tools but my swiss army knive. First problem to get the broken plusitc pipes out of the hoses. Took 15 minutes. I did see that the thick part of the stapped fuelfilter pipes was still ok. So we managed to get it forced in the hoses and on the raod again we were...
