    That comparo is begged by the 2 car's many similarities including production period, and because it has (unbelievably) never been done in depth before.

    A little bit off topic, but there is a beautiful green Urraco next to your car! Would you have other pictures of it?
    All the best!

    Perhaps like a lame duck, but not as good as the original set up.
    This engine will only get the hot air of the engine bay, definitely not what you want for performance...

    Yes, you are correct, to make it effective, he needs the (incoming cool) air-hoses affixed pointing towards the cluster of carbs.

    But can you imagine the induction whistle from the open trumpets, it must be hilarious!

    That said, I'll leave the Mimran DD standard.

    JLA12404 was delivered to Max Bobnar in Switzerland.
    When it was owned by Prestige Imports, Maryland it still had the CH-Sticker at the rear brezel. The pictures are in Glens registry too, from Year 2000.

    Indeed, correct.

    BTW, the 2 images I posted are from just this past Saturday April the 23rd 2016, so you are seeing the car the way it exists today, and, the way it is used by it's enthusiast owner Max would be proud.

    Before tapping up the whole body and having mess with the color later on, one should remove the ridiculous wing...

    Beautiful. Too bad the air box hides the carbs. It's like covering up a super model in an over stuffed ski jacket.
