Stockholm, Sweden - a boyhood dream come true... <3

[dali 2]

Hi all

 

I live in Sollentuna outside Stockholm in Sweden.

After owning and loving a 156 2.0 TS for the last three years, I recently imported myself a 1999 1.8 TS 916 Spider from Germany.

I really love this car more every day and spend way too much time browsing 916-related facebook/websites, hanging with my car or just day-dreaming about it (when I should be working, cleaning or spending time with my family).

 

But after all, it is my boyhood dream of driving and owning a red Italian Pininfarina-designed Spider coming true!

It seems that your Spider is in mint condition! Welcome!

Looks nice, but wrong wheels are mounted. These 16" are only for the 156 and not homologated for the 916.

Thanks for your reply, Michael. What makes you say this?

In the Swedish official car registry it says the primary approved wheel/tire size for this car is 205-50/16 which is exactly what the wheels are...

The size is correct, but the wheels are wrong. There are three different wheels in 16" for the 916. I´ve added pic for all designs.
