Down here, in Costa Mesa,(CA) all I've seen is my car, the usual new Jags
and yesterday, an early MG Midget (top up, of course!)
I did see a gorgeous fly-yellow Dino-which was bought around the same time I
bought Nigel, at the same place. The guy drove it for a bit, and started
changing things on it and after a few weeks decided to take it completely
apart and redo it. It was finished in time for this years Ferrari
competition held in L.A. (Last year it was in Dallas) where it took a first!
The owner was very excited to finally be able to DRIVE it!
Interesting to note-the interior of this very yellow car is BLUE and
black-yes! The seats are deep, grey blue and the door panels are this blue
trimmed in black-and it is stunning! Very retro '60s.
