Grazie mille neelyrc!!!

The car is in family since 18 years, it was repainted about 14 years ago. The soft-top is in green. The interiors were never restored.
As soon as possible I'll take some pictures without the hard-top.

Let's see some more pictures and something of the history of your "garage."

A bit off subject here but that brick vaulted ceiling is quite something, a fantastic ' garage ' storage space.

Not at all - I was thinking the same thing, a barrel-vaulted brick ceiling with skylights!

 ' Back in the day ' when I was completing my apprenticeship as a bricklayer one thing I enjoyed the most was constructing arches and once I ' pushed the envelope ' further and actually constructed a barrel vaulted brick ceiling in the college workshop, albeit without the skylights and of a smaller scale about 4' high and 8' long. Now i run my own construction company and there isn't much of that type of work about anyway, all good fun though.

Anyway, before I get bumped down to 'Way off topic ', Tintrun, your car collection is impressive, to say the least, and welcome to this fantastic club.

Great collection, congrats.
But why don't you wash the Pagoda by hand? Guess the paint doesn't like these brushes   ;)
