That 412 is sublime, all it's missing is a tan interior.

412 is fantastic but I thought for a monday morning 2 black 12 cylinder Ferraris showed a lack of imagination. smile

Great spec - LSD and manual gearbox. A rare car. Given that mine is in the process of generating a £3.5k bill I hope it goes for the upper end of the estimate!

Later car too so S2/S4 spec. thumbup
Always liked them but don't want one quite enough unfortunately. Like loads of cars and people on here I suspect.

Soon, no doubt, to be seen on the right hand side of the Mail Online website with a person who is either 'curvy' or 'showing off their figure' or a positive or negative (depending on the wind direction) comment about not wearing make-up or sweats or etc.

Which is great obviously.

Saw an early Spyder one of those on the M6 whilst driving back down from the North. I was surprised and impressed that the white soft top was still holding fast.

Here are a couple of arty, and somewhat whimsical, short films that I have enjoyed the last couple of days;

Is the Z3 any good?

It'll break your heart, but the prettiest ones always do.

If you've got spare garage space then this is surely a barn find of the future.

Might garage the Jag to stop it dissolving over winter and buy a bargain hack. Trouble is, I haven't a pot to piss in at the mo.

Any experience? Cheap hoot for the leafy lanes? Or camp as a daffodil?

That's all well good for you to say, but would Olly (Nova) fit in one? Or should he plan on getting one for each foot? biggrin

JC if we both fit into a Seven then I'm sure I'd be OK in that Cinq. Although might leave a convex lump in the roof on the flat left over jump [/Finnish accent] on the way to work.

It does chap. Just not sure if the bread knife would concur.

I know I'm a man of questionable car taste, but to my eyes it looks like some bloke has built it in his garage from a fibreglass kit.

The Cinquecento and Seicentos are actually pretty spacious inside as they are quite tall.......and have no crumple zones to impede space hehe

There is a TG Episode where JC tests one against a (proper) Mini Cooper
