So your 205 is very much welcome. I'll try to find a GT Turbo Cup like mine was back in the days but unfortunately the very good 505 are not accepted (2.2 l plus turbo). May be a good thing if you consider what happened when 505 T series was invited at Monaco or Le Mans !! We were many to take a line of credit to go through the Hunaudières or be pictured turning La Rascasse. A life time dream for some. |

The 1300 has not a fantastic power to weight ratio but still good looking. And ergonomics are … terrible ! Do you know how Bertone's built up their fast car reputation? |

I think it's the best-looking car there ever was, so 'right' from every angle. Don't suppose I'll ever be able to own another... |

Sure, what a nice shape.
I still wonder how they had this coupé homologated as a Grp1, so room for 4 adults ! Same thing applies to some others, Mazda Savanna for instance. Bertone 2 liter was a weapon, for road or track use, with a lot of torque, 4 discs, 5 speed and lsd all coming as standard and indestructible too. I started real racing with a Group 1 2002 TI and when the Bertone arrived we saw quickly that we were done. Not mentioning the Hemicuda's! |

Mmm, think due a walk on the beach tomorrow...
Today- "Around 794lb (360kg) of cocaine with a potential value of £50 million has washed up on two beaches in Norfolk." |
