Don't see many of these around, great colour and terrible reputation for trying to kill their occupants.
The likes of this will never be seen again.

The ISO and Miura in the other photos would make perfect stable companions, if the win was big enough

As exotic supercars go, I rather like the one that I found a couple of months ago in an old barn that hasn't yet been featured in Practical Classics Rust in Peace feature.
Now, there is a rotten tease because I now can't tell you what it is...

A little too adventurous for my tastes...

The Grifo in the background, however,
is nice, as is this...

In many ways the French equivalent of a Jensen, though not so long-lived. Most seem to be advertised 'price on application' so I guess the rule is, if you have to ask, you can't afford it...

I'm not really in to "shouty" as a general rule, tend to prefer less conspicuous transport but I have always had a soft spot for these........
