This made me happier than the hippies above:

Driven through Leominster today and parked in the perfect spot, just as I was walking past!

Never seen this body work style before, very AC but more.
I'm sure Andy will detail everything for me. :wink:

At the same time a young lady walked past, smiled and said, "isn't it fabulous, but I love the wooden wheel the most"
Lots of classics out and about today. :)

Heard of it, never seen it.
Sounded nice looked great in a dull lighted town, had a very low ride at the rear...New springs needed perhaps.
Good to see, I was surprised to see the AC badge.
Thanks!

James - it's a Maserati 330 Ricarrozata Berlinetta (built in 1979)

Not so attractive from the front ...
