    Yes, Mike, it is one of the absolute best looking cars from that period, no doubt, IMO.

    I agree, the the light blue colour suits the design really well.

    I will keep you posted on the progress of finding a Mangusta....

    Thanks
    Jorgen

    I am not an expert at all, I thought Dana was the expert. I hope he gets someone to help him, because all of the pics are on his server, just not linked and titled anymore. I don't want anyone to make it worse not knowing what they are doing. Does anyone know him well enough to offer help? I have contacted him several times, both offering and soliciting advice, but I don't think I have gotten an answer. His website has served many of us very well during tough times.

    Il keep my fingers crossed that they will be successful with the reconstruction of the website, it is a great resource.

    Here is a picture of a Mangusta from Spa, anyone having more details?

    For more pictures of this Mangusta, search for "2010 Le Mans Series support races at Silverstone"

    I like the Hella mirrors, which have been moved from the fenders to the side windows, and those look like 4x108 Jongbloed wheels if you ask me.

    I notice it is a 4 headlight car with two headlights stuck in there, and it is labeled as a 1967. I don't know the serial number.

    quick question....never really checked or know this, but is the 4x108 bolt pattern on those wheels the same as 'stock'? 4 x 108? thanks :)

    makes more sense this way....is the bolt pattern on a stock Mangusta 4 x 108? :)

    I notice you used the plural version "bonnets", so you must have several sets?

    Are these originals or fiberglass copies?

    The green Goose (8MA1216) is a true find. JonathanR found an original owner car in Italy, flew out to see it with JohnnyW, then drove it back to the UK.Super clean nice original car and unique colour.

    This is the 'FOX' Mangusta it was restored by PI and won Las Vegas concours in 2002. It has approximately 500 HP. It has quite a few structural components to strengthen the car including a sub-frame under the passenger compartment.

    The current owner is refreshing the car.

    Do you know or correspond with him Denis? If you do, do you reckon he might share some of the detail of his unique 'goose' with 'story' and photos? Sure would love to see what was done, and get a 'feel' from him how it differs from 'stock' when in motion!

    might be an especially good time, if it is gettin' "refreshed" :)

    He's been on the shy side. he is the guy who was selling the wheel centers. Dave Adler might remember what he and his crew did, drop him a line.
