    Note the American-spec yellow Daytona on the track front row does not have a silver nose panel.
    I don't know how many '71 yellow USA Daytonas there are, but it could be 14521.
    13929 likely had a silver nose panel, though it could be 14819.

    Note the silver Daytona in the factory line has rounded edges on the pop-up headlights.
    (14521 is stamped SEPTEMBER and has right-angle edges to its headlights.)

    Who can tell us who is getting into the 312pb?

    What Ferraris would have sounded like had everything been BEV back then.

    Arturo Merzario definitely; interesting footage in the to-be-completed Fiorano test track.
    Nice Lancia 2000 berlina , likely in the Chivasso plant

    Great video, takes me back to my younger days. And my guess, the Lancia factory is Chivasso.

    Note all of the dust on the cars in the factory and dust on the test track.

    The Fiorano test track wasn't finished yet (by the time of the filming) and was still under construction, hence rather dirty and dusty.

    #13929 did in fact have a silver front (I had photos pre-yellow when I owned it). It was painted yellow in 72 then repainted yellow in around 2012. Original color was dino blue metallic. 2nd US delivered car. Lovely car hopefully some day it will return to Dino Blu Metallic

    Unfortunately I no longer own the car. I sold it via fantasy junction last August. All of the Polaroid pics went with the history file

    6.06 Further evidence the Fiat badged 2.4 Dino engined cars were assembled in Marenello, lots of still photos around, but I have never seen video. Then in the storage yard amidst all the 246 Dinos at 6.14 through the windshield of the GTC/4, a 2.4 Dino Coupe drives past and there is a red 2.4 Dino Fiat spider and a couple of coupes in the background, 6.18 a red 2.4 Coupe going past.
