Nice feature in Auto Italia, I’m not a massive fan of Ferrari’s especially modern stuff, however of the few older cars I like the 365 GT4 BB is up there, very rare only 88 in rhd and only 58 UK supplied, lovely machine

Why did sports/super car manufacturers move away from lift up, easy access clams to let's make it as *** difficult as possible to work on? Revenue generation?
 
Wibble, my wall poster too, even had an airfix type model of one - well two actually one I made up and the other I kept as it left the factory. In fact I found that one in a box that came out of the loft as we pack up.

One of the few mid engined Ferraris I would have, the clam shells both ends, that flat 12 engine and of course 6 exhausts pipes when you're young it don't come any better.
 
Ease of assembly, not ease of maintenance

The clams are basically for motorsport applications so you can remove engine/gearboxes swiftly, everything on a race bread car is put together in such a way that it can be be replaced in very short period of time so as to continue racing as quickly as possible, engines/gearboxes can normally be swapped out in 15 to 45 minutes with a trained crew and with minimal tools out in the field in some motorsport of the past
