Ferrari 456 GT Venicehttps://www.carrozzieri-italiani.com/li ... gt-venice/
The Sultan of Brunei shared this infatuation, because in the late 1990s he ordered not one, but twenty one Ferrari 456s for himself and his family. As you might have guessed, though, these were no ordinary 456 GTs, far from it. The Sultan commissioned seven examples each of three different versions of the 456 GT, all under the umbrella name ‘456 GT Venice’. You might have seen the shooting brake variant occasionally resurface on various online forums, while there was also a sedan version, and one 456 GT Venice was even rumoured to have been fitted with a full night vision system. However, if you’re like us, this is the first time you’ll have ever seen one of these: an ultra-rare 456 GT Venice Cabriolet.

I suspect wind tunnel testing didn't figure too much in the build process...

In 1971 I bought my 1937 Ford Y Type, not for £27/10 but £100.
I think they were £100 new.
Grill was like the one above back then….
