    I was browsing through some 60s car magazines over the weekend and of course came across the Vilem Haan and MG Mitten ads of the period. I enjoyed those advertisements, and the catalogs were priceless to me. One of the MG Mitten illustrations used the Dino prototype ... with a luggage rack!

    Lovely stuff, I can just imagine drilling holes in the trunk lid and installing a luggage rack!

    Andy, it was that drawing, in an MG Mitten ad in Road & Track, that started my Dino fever. When I saw the drawing, I just assumed that the car depicted was some would-be designer's fevered fantasy. Once I discovered that the real car actually existed, I patiently awaited every new Dino development on the way to eventual production. I bought a 1:43 model of the Berlinetta Speciale in Italy in 1969. It is still a prized possession today, on display in my living room. Fred
