Fab photo. Looking at the front suspension with the rocker upper wishbone having what looks like a much smaller radius than the bottom, what camber effect does that have?

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
Using my best nasal nerd accent.... judging from the square chassis tubing this does look like one of the ex Bizzarrini engineer Salvatore Diomante's continuation cars. I think you'll find the originals had round tubing....

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
Setright was no fan of the 911, I believe he.was the one who described it as a triumph of engineering over poor design. Also that it was only safe when locked away in its garage. I agree but this for me is part of its appeal. I understood he trained as a barrister, this would explain the samurai sharp wit. What a wonderfully colourful character. I wonder what he would have made of Twitter land.

It is apparently one of the later cars built in the mid '70's but built by Giotto Bizzarrini & his wife ...Mike wrote:Using my best nasal nerd accent.... judging from the square chassis tubing this does look like one of the ex Bizzarrini engineer Salvatore Diomante's continuation cars.

Sadly not as far as I know. Just another cool dude standing proudly alongside his new toy, blissfully unaware of how valuable it would become in the future...Lightweight_911 wrote:.

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
Rescued from a basement in Turin where it had been sitting for 35 years.
In the intervening years the owner had died without leaving a wheel so the car was sold via auction - achieving a price of ~ 505k euros (+ fees) ...
