    My first thought was that the second 021s was the first post after a front end collision, rebuilt differently.

    Then after seeing the other three variations on the same basic theme, who knows? The grill is sure different in character from any of the others.

    The blue car sitting on the running track has a red pf coupe in the background....could be mine....but its not.

    These Farina cars have some lines that remind me of English designs but more subtle in their details...more refined. Lovely cars, all of them.

    May show two different cars; it is a long way from Colorado to Virginia... The rear view shows either 021/S or 037/S, probably the latter. No comment for the front view... Best wishes, Kare

    I just found another difference in detail between "011S" in the b&w pictures and the red 011S: the red car is missing the side indicator arms above the Farina logo.

    Likely removed when the turn indicator lights were added beneath the headlights.

    The xeroxes are believed to show 037/S with what looks like Michingan plates dating back to 1957-1962. The project car with the new nose is an unknown Ghia Coupé. Any idea where those pics were taken and when? Best wishes, Kare

    No recollection where or when, sorry! I thought the "project car" looked like Ghia, but it was in my 037 file for some reason. Glad you agree.

    First one that comes to mind is 049/S, which spent most of its time in California. Being a project car with a wrong nose and possibly with many parts missing might explain why Betz & Peters finally converted it into a Touring Barchetta replica. Best wishes, Kare
