A man who wanted to build the best sports car in the world and hoped it would be profitable compared to modern manufactures who build a profitable car hoping it will be a good car.
RIP Butzi.

Here is another tribute on Classic Cars for Sale
http://www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk/new ... paign=CCfS

It does feel like we should do something significant to mark the occasion as some posts above have suggested ? Does anyone else feel the same. Any ideas ?

'66 SWB 911 (now sold but still prostituting itself as a rally car rental for HERO)
