And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
The Series I, like these two here, is the best looking E-type. The Series II and III function better but removing the headlights fairings and raising the bumpers made them less beautiful.
I agree Al, It is like the fugly bumpers Lamborghini was forced to put on the Countach 5000 S QV to comply with American regulations. America also banned the clear headlight covers on Ferraris. The covers both cut down on drag, and gave their cars a much sleeker look.
I have dreamed of owning a Dino 246 GT since I was a kid right after reading a story about one of the last Cannonball Baker rallies. The winner was a pair of dentists from Long Beach CA. One look at that car in the newspapers was all it took!
I remember the owner of the shop that serviced my Dad's MGC-GT had bought a V-12 and made it a point to show off her engine every time we went there. That car was beautiful. No really, it was beautiful.
I love em' but I love the V-12 roadsters even more. Enzo Ferrari
