These pictures don't even touch the sides of what this car is H 
I take it you now understand why I put myself through all this craziness for this one
Utterly magnificent, although I'd like to point out the lack of extended leather will dull the driving experience I take it you now understand why I put myself through all this craziness for this one
Please post some video as and when you have it, be great to hear that motor and see it in action.

Glad you approve guys, for me the idea of a classic is a bit of a nightmare with reliability issues... So in this case you take the beauty and flair from a 60's Bertone design, and ditch all the rubbish (Electrics, suspension, engine...) then stiffen the chassis, fit the best of modern tech and have the best of both worlds with a seriously quick car able to take a pounding all day long. Just annual oil changes and that's about it.

Thank god nobody has quoted all those photos, it’s a beautiful thing but my word it took some scrolling to get past!
You do realise that this is a car forum don't you.!It took me 10 minutes to scroll through them as i drooled over every picture..The day after i repeated the exercise.!
I watched his video on his absolutely stunning 996 twice..Having said all that i fully admit that i'm a 100% bona fide manic obsessive car nut and see these photos/videos as automotive porn.
I freely admit that i need some form of counselling.
