    Sure ! :) Just a few weeks ago I got my last 60 litres barrel Agip Sint 2000. The empty one I will keep this time. Maybe a collectible in the future :) As well as the pile of original Agip stickers I got.

    Best Regards from Germany

    Wow that has taken some time... Eni has owned Agip since the 70's. Agip used to be Shell Italia, and was taken over by the Eni chemical company, back in the mid 70's.

    Mr. Ferrari used to get quite a lot of $$$ from Eni - Agip.

    In 1988, I attended the EniChem Grand Prix of Detroit. Same company?

    I think, that company managers - back then and till now - thought about possible consequences when changing the name of a product which links directly to racing legends.
    Seems, that some young fop in the CEO floors now give a **** on such things.

    Look at FIAT and what they do to the legendary name 'Alfa'. The same shame.
