Anyone seen a........
« on: 31 December 2013, 10:41:25 »
Droop snoot Firenza recently?

I always lusted after one of these jobbies back in the seventies.

Would £1500 buy a reasonable example.........provided you can source one?

Only around 200 made. A pretty rare care now. Doubt you would get one for less than £6000.

Or one of theses...

Just begging for one of theses to be fitted...

I always thought these to be a classy motor. :y

I wouldn't put a V8 in it though. A 24v Sennie engine would probably drop straight in and would suit the car nicely.  ;)
