    Raced the fabulous 330P4 in the 24h of Le Mans paired with Chris Amon, among many other achievements...

    Wonderful shot, rare to see the mountain peaks as most Targa Florio photos out on the roads (not urban) were taken downwards from above the cars. Schlegelmilch at his best. Forza Nino!

    I might be wrong on that, but... (this is an old Man here, above 60 years of age; North-East of France, so too much beer abuse, on top of wine abuse, on top of "Mirabelle" abuse - ah..."Mirabelle", God will forbid)
    Nevermind! I f my memory, etc...didn't Jim Glickenhaus buy Nino Vaccarella's own "GTB Turbo"? (= the "Turbo" variant of the 328, with the 2-valve 2 litre intercooler IHI Turbo engine?)

    Correct Jim Glickenhaus has owned Nino's GTB Turbo for at least 15 years or more.

    There is at least another 208 Turbo in the US, in the Florida Keys, saw it there at a gathering in Key Largo in 2004.

    Beautiful film about Vacccarella, very Italian, passionate and chaotic. Gorgeous footage, subtitled in English.
