Hindsight: a year after the garage fire
My older brother outbid me on a 190E 2.3-16 three years ago. I’d sent him the link on the last day of bidding. Shared my reservations about taking in another needy West German export. At the time, my 91 318is and 84 GTI had no problem converting my free time into bruised hands. I faltered; my brother won.
Our dad owned a 2.3-16 for a brief half year 4 years prior to the bidding. But for reasons unknown, our dad’s heart shrank the fall of my freshman year of college, and he sold both the 2.3-16 and his 73 BMW 3.0CS.
