On the subject of the missing wheels I'm sorry to say you can be 99.9% sure you have seen the last of them. When I looked into shipping a car to europe they warned against leaving ANYTHING in the car. The docks are infamous for crime and organized crime. Someone probably thought they were valuable (when they saw the beautiful exotic Pantera, and snatched them. The good news is they are easily replaced (unless the were the 10" wide ones which seems unlikely sine the picture of your car (if it's the one you shipped is a narrow body) Chalk this one up to a learning experience, and if there is a next time ship any extras or parts separately in a sealed package and itemized as well as insured. As a New Yorker I'm sorry you had a bad experience here. Most old campys are in dire need of restoration and if you are planing on upgrading your brakes (or if the car already has upgraded brakes the stock campys won't fit anymore. That's one reason the market is flooded with used Campy wheels. Well good luck I hope the rest of your experience is all positive and I know you will enjoy the car. Welcome to the forum!
