Thanks for the further thoughts and reminiscences of the dreaded Stelvio!
Have done it once in a modern and that was enough - a BMW X5 - relying on the gears towards the end to slow it down.
Back on the benchmark thing DavidC of this parish, has kindly suggested that I hold onto my £'s for a short time while his 410 completes the next stage of its rebirth.
By then it will have the correct original rebuilt servos and rest of braking system in fine fettle, so I should be able to see what it was like when "new".
My car is a also on slightly wider wheels and I've often wondered (see my wanted ad) what it'd be like on the wheels it was designed for.
So plan is to meet up, try each others cars, swap wheels around and so on.
I imagine there might be some comparative acceleration tests as well.....
Will keep you posted.
