Pic of the day

[BennyD]

Not a bad day.
Coming soon to Auto Italia

Ah yes, a 4.7 GTS in a very expensive party frock. Worth every penny to get, what amounts to, a Fiat badge on a Ferrari. No wonder they made so few of them, and they all have the steering wheel on the wrong side. They sound very nice though.

took me a while to figure this one out as well

It doesn’t drive like a GTS though… or indeed like a a comparable Maser of the time (even like the GS MCV or MC S), something very different.
Was actually much better than I’d expected, frankly…

Pre dinner drinks in Spain this evening

But where are the drinks?

 

[RoaryRati]

Yesterday threw up some tough choices - possibly the hardest part of the day:
Lunch at Lake Como

The Splugen pass (yes mountain heads are developing)


or this 4.2 V12 that joined us - much waving and thumbs up when we turned off.

 

[RoaryRati]

If you are going Tirano way you’ll make up for this one, or are you going Lake Como way?

We're greedy and doing both!!

Lovely @RoaryRati but that Jaguar would have been a 5.3 V12

Guzzled! I did think that if I put a glass of something in the foreground, the photo would have to be posted in “what are you drinking now”! I like to try to conform

I stood next to this very car on Thursday in the owners garage, he also has a very nice RHD Montreal. He's a great bloke to know. I would also add that is a very special colour for a 8C, you are very unlikely to see another. I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Reminds me of a very special 8C I saw a couple of years ago. Pics incoming.....

I'm sure many will hate it, but I absolutely love it.

Apologies for the poor quality photos and odd staging. We really weren't meant to be walking around these cars, never mind taking photos. Part of a very large collection belonging to an obscenely wealthy man!

I doubt there's another like this...

 

[philw696]

Ferruccio with his Aquarama Super (and two Lamborghini 350 GT engines)

 

[P5Nij]

Ferruccio with the Bizzarrini designed V12 along with Gainpaulo Dallara, Dennis 'Jenks' Jenkinson, Bob Wallace and Paulo Stanzani, what a team....



With the side draught Webers it's probably an Espada, Islero or Jarama engine.

 

[Tallman]

How’s that for a cabin?

 

[BennyD]

It's Ok I guess but, thanks to Brexit, the steering wheel is on the wrong side. Also, white interiors are for fat Yanks in Miami.

Love it Mark…

Many thanks - but Roary was still noisier!!

 

[RoaryRati]

Julier pass two day later, but in the sun

And Bernina pass - heading south (which we were) the descent is more twisty than the ascent

 

[philw696]

You would love it if I was in front with my little Renault 4

 

[BennyD]

I doubt that reprehensible excuse for a car would have got to the top, those things wheeze at sea level.
