#46 finished 2nd in class, 17th overall. That year, finishing was a victory by itself - 2/3 of the cars didn't manage the full 24 hours.

A TO guy doesn't know Yonge Steeles Motors (YSM) in Willowdale?
Home of the Euro Spec pre-smog Dino models in the early 70’s including a red 1970 Dino displayed at the Sportsman show in Toronto that year.
Maybe I should have said "Canarauto" the name Bill Popovich used to import cars into Canada. Of course that doesn't probably include the occasional Ferrari that Luigi got into Monreal on a side deal with Enzo...
He showed a Fly Yellow 1971 Daytona Spyder at the Montreal auto show that year which disappeared again after that show...

 

LOL - of course I remember Yonge Steeles Motors and the Popoviches! I just never referred to it by its initials.

This car was originally sold by Clarke Simpkins Ltd in Vancouver.

 

Anyone know the story? ebay 206 | Page 31 | FerrariChat

 

I got the idea about YSM from Bill Popovich. He had the YSM for his license plate. The magazine is issue #43. I showed that issue to Bill's wife and her first comment was "I remember that suit he was wearing".
