I'm really not sure what to say!!! I suppose the Nardi twin carby set up is nice.

Actually, back in the early 1970s I had a suit pretty much the same colour.

Quite like the colour myself, (no accounting for taste  ::)) and you'd certainly be able to find it in the car park.

As it comes from Portugal I wonder if it was painted by the same person who did this Aurelia B50 Pinin Farina Cabriolet.
Perhaps they had a job lot of purple paint!!!!

Having seen this particlar car in Portugal I must say although it does rather smack you between the eyes at first sight, the colour very rapidly grows on you!

I think the B50 with the toning interior suits that colour, much more so than the Aprilia which just looks wrong to my eyes. Surprised it did not have a sign saying 'Eat at Joes' on the side as could easily be used as a mobile advert......

The Aurelia looks fine with that colour and whitewalls - I was most worried about what the statue was doing.  With the Aprilia I look at it and hear the Austin Powers theme tune.

Oh behave.

The Gentleman who owns the Aurelia if I remember correctly is an ex French Racing Driver.
