Just saw one of these 4 seaters parking up outside the office..



It really is worse in the flesh.. Think Cortina..

 

All the worst bits of 80's automotive style rolled in to one simple design, that's got to be tricky?

 

Now I have to disagree here...

Me and a colleague of mine used to idolise the 400i. We wanted to open a Museum of Car Shame, with all the cars in that were so bad they were good (Maestro Turbo, 400i, NSU Ro80 etc etc)! I reckon you'd have been FLOODING through the gates for one of these bad boys!

 

I saw one of these not too long ago near Regents Park .......

 

WOW! what is it? That needs JR Ewing style bull horns on the bonnet!

I think there is something really quicky about cars like these Kinda retro and fun

 

An 'r' missing there AE I think. Getting worried, it will soon be Lancia Gamma bashing time.

 

Just done some research on the 412 and it seemed to be quite a car at the time..

"the 412 was the fastest Ferrari Berlina yet with a top speed of 155mph, 0-60 requiring under seven seconds for both versions."

"the 412 was a fitting end for a long-running and very successful model. Production was discontinued in 1989 after 303 GT's were built (including 75 right-hand drive) and 226 Automatic's (55 of which were RHD)."

Rare too!

Still ugly though

 

Aston Martin Lagonda

 

Open the bonnert on an early one. The 4.8 V12 was fed by 6 twin choke Weber carbs
