Over and Over when I see a Daytona Spider with the top up and in this angle, i reassure myself why I think this is the prettiest Ferrari made.
Some expressed interest about the suspension at some point. Recently visited a friend's Daytona while undergoing brake fluid purge. It has a Bilstein adjustable setup, probably installed when it resided in Japan, a fact about its residency there. Source on decal says "Made in Japan". I am told it is oodles better in the handling dept. than the original Koni and factory springs. A big plus I find is the inherent adjustability.

16415 would be the my choice if I could buy a Daytona: blu Dino Met like my 308, and owned by Charles Pozzi (the man), where my grandfather bought the 308 (the dealership)! I sat behind the wheel in 2013 at RM Villa Erba Auction and didn’t want to get out of it! Image Unavailable, Please Login
I photographed this car on 11 October 2020 when the Modena Cento Ore stopped at Villa Borghese in Rome. See here https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/posts/148195742/

With all due and utmost respect Grant, but I’m a bit surprised by that coming from you and perhaps more so, due to the title of this thread.
I thought it must be Timo, it’s an unusual photo without the transaxle in place. It’s been a long time since I was under the back of my car
Yes, but for me, both personally and professionally, these types of perspectives or viewpoints are far more interesting than all commonly seen, typical book/magazine, marketing or show environment glamour (or forum post) shots of assembled cars. My own archives consist tens of thousands of similar, including volumes of detail shots of variety of unrestored vintage cars and/or their components I’ve taken in past 4+ decades, but I just wish someone would’ve had foresight to take lots of them when these and other, older vintage cars were new. P.S. The stripped down photos of your cars restoration were the most interesting to me. I just love “naked” cars and the all the unseen components they’re made of.
Different times when Daytonas and other classics were new, pre the age of the digital/mobile phone cameras, when taking even a small number of pictures was quite expensive and inconvenient having to get them developed.
