I want to share my experience: the other day I was driving through a small city in the mountains when I suddenly glimpsed something familiar parked not far from the road, push the brake, go back...it was this:

perfect 100% like new. I could never think to find this machine in Italy and it is also quite impressive to see one for real...it looks fine as hell, I want it.
Of course I put a note under the wiper "sell me your car" but the proud owner never called me...

If you want one of those, there always seem to be tons of em for sale in Holland. Not that expensive either.

ST = 2T engine I think (1600cc, single underlying cam, 90hp)
GT = 2TG engine (1600cc DOHC 8V)

Both can be found, but the majority are ST's
