    This early 3000 (no earlier 3000 so far) will undergo a serious restoration, though not nut and bolt since it does work already in a very satisfactory way.
    It will include some body work, mechanics, as well as a total paint work and interior redo.

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
