Perhaps it is interesting to note that the yellow one (at least in post #43) is one of the very rare 206 GTs...See chassis number on picture number 2
Outwardly the 206 and 246 can be distinghuised by the position of the doorlock...

If you owned one tho would you want people thinking you had a classic Italian sports car or a hyperactive animated purple dinosaur sitting in your garage.Originally Posted by Ferrer

I'm not a Ferrari man, and in any case there's always the inverse snobbery of not having a Ferrari badge on the bonnet.If you owned one tho would you want people thinking you had a classic Italian sports car or a hyperactive animated purple dinosaur sitting in your garage.

I'm not a huge fan either Ferrer an early coachbuilt Alfa would do me just as wellI'm not a Ferrari man, and in any case there's always the inverse snobbery of not having a Ferrari badge on the bonnet.Not for snobbery tho, just because of the beautiful flowing bodylines. It'd have to be something usable like the Dino as well, not a trailor queen.
The manufacturer i am fond of also starts with F "Ford" mostly the '60s to late '70s European models (hence in part i chose this username) but i also like the early Mustangs, actually i'm pretty partial to any of the muscle cars to be honest.

The Veritas RS would put it at 1947 yes ? That would pre-date my first assumption of the 1954-55 Porsche 550 RS Spyders, the earliest car using it in my database of currently 389 makes + 7450 models (I've only recently come across the Veritas brand while researching early BMW's but haven't added them yet since details are pretty sketchy that i've read so far).
Who would have thought my username could spark off such an intriguing question.
