Blue Max?!!!

I was instantly smitten...so much that after 2 years of begging, they sold me the car. And now, 22 years later (to the intense chagrin of my wife), I still have not one but 2 Opels sitting in my driveway in various percentages of being complete, a basement stacked with boxes of Opel parts...you could say I'm still in deep smit!

If I'm not mistaken, that's a Blue Max!!!
