This car was discovered on two pallets in a corner of  field in Cavallino, Venezia. Italy, The farmer agreed to sell & stated the engine was  a good runner! Thinking there would be no chance of the engine running, the next day to our surprise, the farmer  promptly started the engine, then told us  to jump in & take it for a drive round the farm. The engine ran perfectly, but looking at the floor over the bumps, I thought it was going to give way. However, the price was agreed at 500.000 Lira and I bought the car! They even delivered it to where I was staying.  It was a bit like film “The Italian Job” with the car in the back of their refrigerated wagon. As the doors opened, every one was wondering  what we were doing,  then to every ones surprise the little red car drove out of the wagon, everyone thought I was mad!
