Yeah, we journo's need things spelling out. :D
Also, Napolis, have you heard of Auto Italia magazine?
Nice!!!
One thing I've been mulling over regarding this project:
Was there any connection between this and the Birdcage concept?
It seems quite a similar brief - modern "recreation" of a classic on the Enzo platform.
Was there any transference of ideas that weren't deemed relevent to the Birdcage, in terms of styling or the technical side?
Presumably it would have been largely the same team of people involved?
Thanks in Advance
[QUOTE=Napolis]Go to the Pininfarina web site. Down load the press kit. Use a photo. Read the info. Ask me a few questions and you're on your way...[/QUOTE]

Yeah it would! Mine began with working as a stringer for BBC news which meant going to an election count and staying there til it was done, before reporting the results.
Arrived at 8pm - left at 5am, slept on the station til 6:30 train... arrived back at uni just in time for a day-long lecture, before going out for a mates birthday that evening. Fun fun fun!
Watching people count pieces of paper is so BORING!

As you've noted Jason designed both but the chassis are different dimensionally so they're more cousins than sisters.
Best
If only it were so easy. No, you'd have to crash a Ferrari into our local city hall to deem it newsworthy. We're a small newspaper, and right now I'm struggling to wade through a mountain of school testing results and this "no child left behind" horseshit... I really should be working right now, come to think of it. What a nightmare.
Thanks sincerely for the offer though.

Was that project much of an inspiration for the team at Pininfarina, or yourself?
It is my distant dream to set up a small company doing this kind of "coachbuilding", if it can still be called that these days.
A long way off yet though, and by the time it becomes a realistic idea, you probably won't be able to do it anyway for some reason or other :rolleyes:

Napolis, I've been seeing some posts that some people want your car in Test Drive: Unlimited.
So it looks like your P4/5 becoming quite a star in the car world.
And here too :

One question Jim. Why does it appear that in one photo of the car, it is right hand drive, but all the rest it is left hand drive? Or is the right hand drive picture that apears in the Classic Driver report a different car.
