Hi Andy:
Surely Michelotti wasn't responsible for the dreadful "face lift" of the
front of the Vitesse. Those four headlights are nearly as ugly as the
equally bad look of the contemporary Rolls, The '61 Lagonda Rapide and the
gawd awful Ferrari 330 GTE. Mind you, none of these approaches the Jensen
CV8 for sheer bad taste in headlight "design". What was there about Brit
"designers" that caused the creation of so many truly ugly automobiles when
they had to deal with four headlights?
