Correct... Although sometimes I wish you weren't correct.  ;D

Seriously though, I'm impressed and thankful. I was not aware of another exterior shot available!

By the looks of it, I suppose interior shots are nigh well impossible to find.  ;)

Abarth T140, only a scale model.

this project is from 1967, and should have been a V12 6000cc engine.
