    Arthur,

    Do you have a decent source for Avons in the UK? I have Pirelli P Zero Rossos on my Turbo R at present but was figuring on putting a set of Turbospeeds back on if I can find any sort of a reasonable deal on them.

    years ago coming into a town before the Alps,its long long roads for wheat farming,I've got a 365gtc/4 on my tail with a very good driver in her.
    Its on we past a few cars and its fast run up to top gear all the way up to about 220 clicks ,I had him with ease,more like 6 seconds.

    Love that car in black -- makes the modern exotics look clunky in comparison.

    Still one of the most beautiful cars ever made. I used to have a 1964 E 4.2 in puke green. I really miss her. I needed two of everything for her to run (fuel pumps) but did not care.

    One of my British colleagues said same to me - out of curiosity, what is the average price for an E-Type in AUD?
