good morning to you all

Let me introduce me to you

I am 58 year old, retired from active work, sold my bussines and put the houe up for sale.
The wife and I want to do some traveling again just as when we were young in the 70 es
We have been looking for a rv for a year now. I do not like the small european rv, to claustrofobic although I like the trustwearthlyness of the mercedes and man trucks.
I do not like the fancy moderne cherry interiours of the new rv.
So I ended up with americans and found out that the newer ones are of inferiour quality.
Than I fall in love with the georgous rearend of the airstreams and lastly in the quality of the GMC.
So I have seen a few GMC her in Europe ( though there are not that many) and ended up with this Eleganza I found in Berlin.
Now she does not look much from the outside, neither does the original interior.
But underneath it looks real good: new tranny, quadrabag, alcoa, 6 diskbrakes. new steeringhous, straight frame, new blackwater, new bearing etc.
So I took it for a testdrive and it was sweet, except for the airsystem that does not work right and the dash aircon.
The wife has not seen it yet but she named her Olga inspired by the original interior.
So next week I have to pick her up in Berlin and drive the 500 miles home, always exiting with a new car. I will keep you posted about this trip

Now I know she was in Germany by 1991 but if anybody knows more history about her I will be happy Her id is ETZ166V101458
