    Enzo drove a 400i/412 as his everyday car I believe in his later years.

    There is a picture of him driving a 365GT4, but generally in his later years I believe he was driven by somebody else, usually in a sedan.

    Italian law forbids a person above a certain age from driving a car over a certain hp or engine capacity, so he made the greatest cars but it was against the law for him to drive them.

    No! Is that true?
    If so, is the reverse (can't drive high hp cars if you are under 21) true?

    I guess this is what happens when you sell your company to a big organization. Next thing you know, you’re standing with your shoes in a deep puddle, flogging their product to the masses, and wondering why the hell you got up out of bed.

    So that explains why Ferrari was building such underpowered cars in the late 70's early 80's then? ;-)

    Man that is low, but better an underpowered Ferrari than anything else.
