after a few days of very pleasant 'open' pottering around Bologna, the MM is back at the garage again. During the 150+ miles done last week, I appreciated it so much that I decided to go on with the improvements that are necessary to make it really nice.
At the present moment the mechanics are dismantling the front suspension to replace the grommets etc and stop the 'clunks' at every small pothole; several small jobs will be required to improve the carburettor and the brakes. There is no doubt that in the past our MM was 'simplified' by some owner who didn't have the time/patience/money/knowledge to look for the correct parts; and some were mandated by the Italian law to register the car here at the time (1953 in Milan) of the first Italian registration. So the trafficators disappeared, the facia knobs rearranged, the lower parcel shelf discarded, etc. Also the detachable rear side rear screens have been modified and now they are 'naked', ie their metal frame is exposed instead of being covered in canvas, but I would like to have them like the original ones. Does anyone know where could I find a pair of screens like these? Thank you,
Stefano[frame]
