    I have always enjoyed the classy magazine "Collectible Automobile", and while its focus has primarily been on American cars, it occasionally does an article on a nice European model, and in fact the first issue ever published in 1984 had a BMW 507 on the cover.

    Well, the new April issue has a very fine 10-page article on the 1952-55 Fiat 8V, written by Winston Goodfellow, with some nice photography, including the car on the cover.

    It's the #00084, driven by Elio Zagato at the 1955 Berlin circuit and Targa Florio.

    Every once in a while I see the 427 Cobra advertised in Britain that's got the Ghia-made
    body of a Savonuzzi-designed Supersonic on it. I don't have a Cobra registry, I think the CSX3055 is the chassis number. I haven't figured out if that 427 Cobra chassis was an un-numbered chassis that got a number later but I figure if the body is worth $100,000 or so, maybe whoever buys the Cobra can sell it and put a proper Cobra body back on, unless the chassis has been lengthened.
    You can find pictures of it just by writing Ghia Cobra into a search engine.


    Several British journalists have tested it and say it's memorable (well I think "scary" is the more descriptive word)
