Sorry but it does nothing for me :(.

I remember looking in a garage showroom near Grove Park, SE London in about 1969 and seeing a Lamborghini, which my male friends were corring about, foaming at the mouth in excitement.

That, as this car has,had a dash board quality that is so disappointing and "late 60s" in style.  It never excited me then, nor does that type of layout excite me now! ::) ::) :P

Give me a contemporary DB5 or a Mustang Fastback anyday! 8) 8) :y

Transverse mounted V12 in the back running Weber downdraughts? What's not to like? :-*

Apart from changing the plugs, I suppose, but yes, I'd put up with that pain. :D

Ignoring the obvious question of how strong is the inevitable tendency to want to go backwards into a ditch, of course. I'm sure that can be driven around. ::)
