    I vaguely recall seeing a photo of the engine compartment of a 250GTE that had an engine
    vacuum windshield washer system using a Trico Washer bottle mounted on the fire wall.
    Was this system used on early 250GTE's or any other Ferraris or is my eyesight poor?

    Lowell: I have never seen one on an original car. But with Ferrari, never say never!!

    Some of the early cars had a vacuum pump to move the water.....pump was mounted on the dash or possible other places.

    You had to pump it to get the water flowing.
