The 4 cylinders start at a quarter turn, without suspicious fumes or noises and the idle is stable, as confirmed by the 360° video produced with the engine running available at the start of the slideshow. When driving, the engine revs up without jerks or overheating. The gearbox works perfectly. The 4 gears of the mechanical gearbox go up and down without problems, particularly in terms of synchros.
