Dream Car-What's YOUR recipy?

Turbo deux chevaux

I like this one! But throw in a turbocharger and some bias-ply whitewalls.

Honest answer:

In the late afternoon in the summer of 1974 I was on a tour bus driving alongside Lake Geneva (Switzerland) towards Geneva. The windows were open for cooling and I heard an engine noise. A kind of high-pitched whine.

It was faint and would rise and fall over time, with the occasional burble as the throttle was eased off.

Quickly though, it got louder and finally ear shattering!

A bright yellow Ferrari Dino blew past the bus, on the 2 lane curve-riddled road, at 90 miles and hour or more. It was only an instantaneous moment in time, but it was more than enough to do the job.

The image is a permanent fixture in my mind.

I want that car. Color is unimportant. That SOUND, that FORM, that SPEED, the AGILITY, is what I wanted.

Would I change anything? Yes. The design of the Dino tail does not match the voluptuous front form. It is too blocky and chiseled. In a way, like the Alfa Spider Kamm tail. But, at least the Spider tail is much better executed, IMHO.

Alas, I shall never realise that dream unless I inherit a bazzillion samolians.

My Alfa Spider will do for now.

If it must be a GTV...

Then I might start with Jorge Mazlumian's machine.

N I C E!

Other than some rare factory machine made from pure unobtainium, or rare one-off prototype, I like this car.

I Have mine. I thought of this 40+ years ago. Foreground, my 65 Ausca veloce spider, GTA engine and running gear. Background my 275 GTB Ferrari.
I've owned the Alfa from new, bought the 275 wrecked in 70 and put it back together.
