[V8] 200 20Valve Avant: to what lengths?

[Roger Woodbury]

Well, actually, I was sort of wondering if I could picque anyone's interest.

Then I could have it both ways:  I could go and satisfy my own curiosity all
the while, saving one of these automobiles from merely being scrapped.  The
20Valve Avant should thunder on into eternity!

And yes, they are interference engines. Usually it's an electrical or fuel
problem that parks one of these cars.
