Oh,didnt know that.

Only dislike of the car is the airscoop on the roof,could have been more subtle but thats my 2 cents Cool

Otherwise a great car which ran great and i hope the 3 litre engine Kaag has for it will do well too. Cool

Hey it is arrived!!!  I saw the car at Berg factory during my honeymoon in CA, probably the day it was prepared and shipped to Holland, this picture should rapresent last time it was pushed out from Berg garage in the backyard. Clyde told that he sold the car to a racer in holland but someone asked him to drive it to Ebi2 and he was wondering to have the trip to Belgium but it was too far and he was too buisy and was preparing for shipping it.
Just a souvenir pic of me and Mr Clyde after a great tour trough factory sectors.  I came back home in Italy with a shifter handle and a berg linkage just taken between Gene memory pictures and in the shop.
