1971 Opel Rekord C -- 1.9S review from Portugal
"Try it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel Gauge broke down.
Steering Wheel lock jammed once.
Windshield wipers played me a couple of tricks.
General comments?
It is the perfect car; it even resists the sacrileges of unexperienced amateur mechanics. No matter how bad you treat it, it always comes to life. Great buy if you can find a not so battered specimen.
