A Lancia, wow. Good quiz choice!

Those insane B.A.T. Alfas were built by Bertone. Before wind tunnels. Very slippery, I think they got them to 125 mph or so with a little 50’s iron block 2-liter.

...except for a visual clue. It's not a one-off.

Coune MGB Berlinetta, he built a design study and had a deal before MG decided to build the GT in-house instead. He built 56 examples on his own.

Now this is a good looking car.

I messaged my friend Christine about her MGB (not MB :oops:) and she might dig up a photo of it for me. I'll post it if she does. Her dad sold it in the early 90s to pay for her college, and I think I picked up a degree of sadness from her message, although she didn't indicate that outright. It makes me sad vicariously. She really did love that thing.
