40 Years ago it was also my dream car
but unfortunately it was almost impossible to get spare parts from Fiat even then, with the car hardly 10 years old. The spares situation was generally a problem with Italian cars then. So, I moved towards British cars. They are a usually quite a bit less elegant than the Italians, but at least an active club and dealer scene re-manufactured spares when the original stock was depleted.
Audi made it also clear with the 100 S Coupé that getting "inspired" leads not always to success when sublime lines are simplified or not understood. Sometimes I wonder if not the same problem exists in the watch industry....
Best,

A car which always made me dream.... But which I avoided, for its different mechanical issues and its lack of reliability. Credit pictures: On the plates! A milestone of sensuality. Best, Nicolas ...

Love the seats, dash, and cockpit overall
Very sensuous! OK, high maintenance, like a good ...... car 😉
Timeless!
A great Bretone design with a nice Ferrari engine. Though the earlier version with the 2.0 liter engine is even more authentic and sporty. And as always: first look for a qualified mechanic and garage in your neighbourhood, then search for the car 😉
Beautiful design with an epic engine...
Dino and Stratos used this engine and it’s a great experience to hear it going for the redline !
An incredible sound...
Have you ever heard the sound of a Jaguar e type going for the redline ?
Yes, one of the things which made me consider the E Type for a very long time as MY vintage car... Now, prices are going mad, so... I went for the Volvo P 1800...
Not as exciting to drive, but a beautiful vintage car, and quite reliable, too.
It just goes to show how important sound is in a car [nt]
The Volvo is a great classic
