I drove one of those in the Mille Miglia back in 57

Cherry red, cream leather, supercharged.? Blew the cylinder head gasket trying to overtake Fangio on the long straight coming into Brescia, steam everywhere, hell of a mess. When it all cleared my navigator, Spiffy Watkins, had completely disappeared.? They found him 6 years later outside Castellina; he had 17 children and was making the best Chianti in Tuscany.
