Well once upon a time a little lad travelled Europe each summer in his Dad’s Bedford motor caravan. That little lad fell in love (and still is) with just three cars: a Lamborghini 400GT, Citroen DS and Fiat 500.
Well just over 30 years ago an ambition was fulfilled (no sadly not the Lambo) and he bought a scruffy but very sound 1970 500F (the rubber mats and bakelite steering wheel version).
Turns out the car had just 2 owners and a documented mileage even now of 37500 miles. She has been bare metal sprayed in original Ferrari (yes really!) dark blue and the engine rebuilt to produce twice the original 18bhp.
The lad loves his car but spends much time telling his daughter she can’t own it yet. It’s fun, frugal and the ladies love it.
Oh the lad’s name that’s me — Peter Hughes.
