That is the most beautiful Ferrari, on that there is no argument. The Zehri's have one in Karachi, very poorly looked after. The interior is really not up to the level of the exterior, but this is without doubt the most beautiful car Ferrari ever made, second prize in my book goes to the 250 LM.

It must be difficult to design something stunning these days given all the legal framework surrounding automobile production these days but you have rightly pointed out the exceptions. My own opinion is that the heyday of the coachbuilt automobile passed away after the war, and I doubt if it will ever return.

Would you please let me know which european cars you think are superior to the RR in terms of performance, looks, cost etc. Are you comparing with the 40/50 hp Phantoms or the 25/30 hp range. What engines are you comparing, are we talking V12 or inline 8 or 6 ??
The "R" engine from Rolls Royce is the only engine that held the world air, land and water record at the same time. No other manafacturer has ever achieved this feat.
The reputation of being the "best car in the world" from 1908 to 1974 was not built on snatching your jewelery!!!
