Yes but a low mileage original mundane car like a 240D is worth a lot more than
any restored one. Same applies for middle of the road collector cars like
pagodas.

I've got one. It's been rebuilt once (still leaked down), and it is
still on the mount. How does $25 sound? I think that there is an extra
o-ring inside the small round valve assembly that I missed when I
rebuilt this one. I had the kit of new o-rings from MB, but
circumstances beyond my control
I'll double check them, but I'm pretty sure they all are free to move.

I think that the mistake most Italian restaurants make is (1) not using
fresh ingredients and (2) too many spices. Good olive oil, fresh
tomatoes/garlic/basil/parsley, a little salt, maybe a few other minor
spices are about all that is needed (fennel - that's the other one I was
thinking of).
Of course, I'll ask The Cook to make something that doesn't include
left-overs!
