My First Ferrari...

I was lucky enough in the late 80's to own a Ferrari 246 GT, to my eye one of the most beautiful cars ever made. Not the fastest
of Ferrari's as a little underpowered but still a wonderful thing to have in the garage and appreciate it's great design features.

A small cabin with little leg room for someone over 6' but it's starring role was at our wedding, I often wonder if the current
owner still keeps finding confetti!

One of the most perfect automotive shapes ever - & the engine, although underpowered, produces a fabulous sound ...

A car I've always wanted to own (& still do) but unfortunately it's never going to happen now.
