Busted, I'm assuming we're talking about the same car. unfortunately, i'm nowhere near the level of knowledge of yourself. Let alone have i ever owned one!! By the way, that is one beautiful car. I do like this one as well....
Fantuzzi-bodied 1962 Ferrari 330 TRI/LM Testa Rossa Spyder, chassis #0808, engine #0808.

Yeah, i consider myself to be a car nut for the last 30 years, at least! It's just that Ferrari isn't really my forte!

I really like the concept of the Art cars. It proves that a car can be more than just a piece of machinery. I truly consider some to be basically a mobile sculpture. Case in point, Aston Martin Vanquish S, Jaguar XKE, the 56 Ferrari 250 GTZ, and so on, and so on.....


There aren't a lot of modern cars that really catch my eye in the sense... the Porsche Cayman S is one of them, as is the Lotus Elise.

As for classics... I probably have a bit stranger tastes. The early, round tail light BMW 2002 is one of my favourites. Slightly awkward proportions, the bus-sized steering wheel, wafter thin roof... I love it. Same as any old Volkswagen Bug... I don't think a better looking car exists. (Yeah, I'm crazy, I know.)

I also really love the Porsche 356, the '65-73 Porsche 911, the Karmann Ghia and the Triumph Spitfire GT-6. Rolling art.

I still think that there is some modern examples of craftmanship in cars. Case in point, the Maybach, the Ford GT, (as well as many others) these cars were obviously designed and assembled by people who were passionate about cars!! The cars are visually interesting to look at and the attention to detail is in the highest degree.

Certainly, but the cars of yesteryear were just so much cleaner. But really its all in the eye of the beholder
