Hello Everyone,

Here is a shot of my new family member on her way home. Many thanks to Elcid Arana's (Previous owner and restorer) for all his help in getting her ready for the trip home. As you can see, Elcid took great care in preparing her for the trip. I cannot say enough about Elcid, the perfect kind of guy to buy a car like this from. He truly cares and has put his all into this GTV! Bravo Elcid!

Ciao,

Francesco
