Imola with Cream Beige would have been outstanding, but I don't think there are any in this country - maybe only one Imola car exists here, and I think it has the black interior.
I see from your build thread that you used a mix of different grade engine oils to cure the smoking issue. So, should I drain out just half of the 5W-30 and pour in 4 litres of say, 10W-60 (Castrol Edge) rather than completely refilling with 8 litres of new 5W-40 oil?
It doesn't get very cold in winter where I live - never less than 35F (2 deg C) and that only happens on a half-dozen days.
