Lovely car , you are indeed a lucky lad!

My boss drove one in the late 60s , and we thrashed it everywhere, it never complained and kept delivering fun miles one after another. It went really well BUT stopping was something that required a certain amount of advanced planning and notice.

We looked at fitting Giannini (an Italian tuning outfit who competed with Abarth) barrels and pistons to it , to upgrade the motor, but the cost was too great and we thought too much else would need upgrading to take the extra torque.

Great memories.
