how shall i put it?
couple days ago a friend of mine bought an argenta for 170e  Shocked . unfortunately, restoration was not his top priority. he wants to build a super 7 replica. so oily bits is what he's after. therefore, i had to salvage what could be salvaged  Grin

since i don't plan on getting mysef an argenta anytime soon, you can guess what i was after. all the bits that fit 132. since there's a lot of little bits neither of us need, that;s where you argenta lovers come into the story. any parts you need for sale at rock bottom prices! trim, lights, interior, rear wings...
parts exchange also possible, i think you know what i'm after  Roll Eyes

Not a problem to me. If it is yours you can do what you want with it. Parts have been saved which is great, it will help keep others going. My only negative is it did not have the original wheel trims on it despite being a series 2 Roll Eyes

well it wasn't mine so it really wasn't my decision

due to very bad condition of the roads in serbia and bad driving and parking manners, wheels are often damaged and those plastic wheel covers are considered expendable so it's highly unlikely that you'll ever see originals on any car in serbia

Of course it is sad to see the cars as deteriorated as this...but interesting to see them nevertheless - any background story on this one...?  Smiley
