  1. On the dashboard, I think I see a cigarette ash tray in between the two black knobs. But what is the silver thing in between the car seats?

  2. Guessing a coin box. Lots of toll roads in Italy /Sicily. Don't see many inline-5 cylinder engines.

    1. I-6 engine. Rear spark plug hidden by air intake tube.

    2. Yep, you can see there are six leads going into the pipe and the distributer has spacing for six leads. If you hadn't mentioned it I'd never have looked closely and would have spent ages googling 5 cylinder Alpha engines.

  3. Hopefully this car doesn't sport a Lucas electrical system. Because as soon as the ignition is turned on electricity would leak all over everything.

  4. Little more luxury than a Fiat Spider, probably higher performance too. My sister had one, she would throw me the keys say have fun but bring it back in one piece. It had fantastic rear wheel steering all the way from end of braking thru the apex and out just handled superb, keep the revs up it was wonderfully fast thru a series of turns, just throw that rear end into the corners. WooHoo! ZoomZoom

  5. My first automotive lust object. Had a job shelving books at the city library so did my first "how can I buy this" calculation. The answer was "Never."
