Anemic at best. Not much power. Very well balanced though. Fix It Again Tony. The 124 was a much more spirited driving car, with a dohc italian four banger and a manual trans. Very high rev limit. The sohc 128 (X/19) not so much.

Brought it over to the house and asked me if I would service it for him (I had been maintaining his Fiat 124 sport coupe as a favor to my sister.) Took one look at it after raising the engine cover and immediately said “No!” I can’t imagine what a nightmare it must be to work on that engine. Looked like a fun car, though. I don’t recall ever driving it, but I might have. The 124 was a fun car to drive when it ran. -D _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
