I miss my 124; the 132 or the Cinquecento Sporting 8)
Recycled FIATs don't have the appeal of the real thing.

That picture of the Disco Volante is stunning Paul - never realised how much the E-Type FHC (& D-Type/XK SS before it) must have been influenced by it ...

But weren't they melting down FIATs to make Ferraris before 1969? :wink:
By the way, Ferrari is Italian for 'iron worker'. The English translation is Smith. So all them medallion men have done their money on Smith 250 GT Lusso. :(
