Still can't decide!

Btw, Lady C looks pretty rust-free underneath - must be all that fabulous south of France weather.
Derestricted air flow indeed along the whole line: that's why I chose MIJ Exhaust, likely sensibly improving the throttle response, with a derestricted air box as well (trumpet off & 7 holes made in the box + K&N filter added to ethanol higher octane value - 105).
You're quite right Simon, my pride & joy lived her first 13 years in the warmest southern area, between Mediterranean sea & Pyrenees mountains, close to Spain.
And since 2017 sleeping in a comfy garage away from rain & moisture if any.
The challenge is: which of both of us will live the longer?
