    No, Steve’s right. They’re both ugly as well

    I actually think the Lele has quite a deal of elegance,whereas the Lambo is Eyetie musclecar.

    Bah. Boxy, not well proportioned and rear end looks like it came out of the parts bin

    The Daytona was the muscle car....

    Precisely!!!! That's what I meant.........

    That's probably why Moretti likes 'em!

    Actually I think they both have a hint of Torana A9X in them, which overall looks better than either of those HOS’s.

    to be fair Greg, in 1970 any car with 4 pipes hanging out the back was exotic in Europe. It didn't matter if it had Fiat tail lights. When the Jarama appeared it competed against the Ferrari 365GT 2+2 and looked dramatically more modern and tough, plus it had tons of road presence.

    But the short wheelbase and big overhangs made it look odd compared to the Espada.

    the Ferrari 365GT 2+2 also suffered from an ungainly long rear overhang - I think the Italians had cottoned to the US market demand for carrying golf clubs in their cars.

    The Jarama is a really, really good drive.

    I'm a Ferrari die-hard, but even I'm embarrassed by the 365 still using kingpin front suspension. They managed to gift a long car with very limited steering lock that made hairpin bends into 3-point turns.

    As for the Espada, it looked like something from a science fiction movie, the Ferrari like a 1957 throwback.

    Hasn't that GT4 been for sale for ages - not many have had all the chrome painted black or body colour.

    Dino looks great in white.

    If the Mini Cooper sells in that guide range, the one that I bought from Shannons was a bargain!....Not that I'd sell it....
