Dave,

Congrats on the purchase. At that price it’s a steal. Enjoy it.

I had an old 164 3.0 once I sold to a friend for GBP 500, he kept it
for a couple of years after that and managed to get it past 200,000
miles with no problems and the only servicing being infrequent oil
changes. He eventually traded it in (against a 166) and persuaded, no
forced, Desira to give him GBP 500 part-ex for it. Now if you can get
that sort of use out of your 156 you will be doing well.

Have fun,

Michael
