I'd love to know the reason for 41 years in dry storage. I suppose that the owner of a car like that was probably embarrassed to show it in a communist country.

I wonder why the local communists didn't find it and destroy as a capitalist monstrosity or alternatively perhaps it originally belonged to a governor or other important person during the communist era.

I can see the distributor and a coil, but on the left there appears to be another tubular item like a coil with a cable opening at the top that has no cable. What's that?

Hi John,

this is the original coil and the small one with the cables is a modern one.
