a.j.z Posted December 9, 2022 Share #18862 Â Posted December 9, 2022 I just looked at pictures of the Camargue and there are indeed some similarities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Morgan Posted December 9, 2022 Share #18863 Â Posted December 9, 2022 The Camargue was inspired by the Fiat 130 coupe but that had a much wider C pillar. Another Pininfarina of like era was the Ferrari 365 GT4/400/412, and in the absence of rear head rests I'd say either a Ferrari 365GT4 or a 400i. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very impressive given the narrow b/w crop that Wilson got the designer and you the correct car.  Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted December 10, 2022 Share #18868  Posted December 10, 2022 My children used to make scathing remarks about my 365GT4 which was in the dark metallic bronze colour: "our dad has a Ferrari but it's brown!" I then showed them photos of Steven McQueen's brown 250GT Lusso, which shut them up. It was not exactly my favourite colour either and the friend who bought it from me, repainted it in Lancia dark blue, which suited it far better, although I was not a bit fan of the white leather upholstery he put in with dark blue piping. The original honey coloured leather was IMHO, far nicer. Wilson 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted December 10, 2022 Share #18870  Posted December 10, 2022 Ronald, The Agate Porsche colour from memory is a brownish grey metallic. The Ferrari colour is more "chocolatey" than that and very metallic, so that on a sunny day, it looks like bronze. Oddly the smaller engined 365 GT4 (352 BHP nett @ 6800 RPM if it has the optional 40 DCOE carburettors in place of the standard 38 DCOE. I think most of the UK cars sold via Maranello Concessionaires had the 40 carbs) car is quicker than the larger engined later cars.  They also have nicer Cromodoro centre lock wheels with three eared spinners rather than 5 lug bolt on wheels. Their main problem is that they are very "under-tyred"  at 215-70 x 15" for their weight and power. If you drive the 365 hard and why would you buy a Ferrari to drive it gently, the tyre carcasses will start to break up from over-heating after just one or two thousand miles and you will start to see the wires from the broken steel belts, poking out of the sidewalls. The Pirelli CN36 were particularly bad for this but their ride was far better than on the somewhat wooden Michelin XWX tyres. I have a friend who rallies the coupé version, the 365 GTC/4 and used the same Michelin TB15 road legal race tyres that I used to use rallying my 911 RSR. I would get around 1500 miles from a rear set and 3-4000 miles from a front set. He gets around 7-800 miles for a set of 4 so on a long rally like the Coupe des Alpes, he has to pre-position a new set of tyres en route to change to. Wilson 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted December 11, 2022 Share #18874  Posted December 11, 2022 Thank you, Charles.  Though I never had one I knew them well, and admired them.  While in the Air Force I was sent ops a temporary duty assignment to Vandenberg Air Force Base in California for test launches of Minueman II ICBMs,  While there I graded in my 1966 Mustange fast ack for a 124 sport coupe, which was lovely ely for tis time.  However, with eh closest dealer to my regular base (Grand Forks, North Dakota) 155 miles away I bought a few hundred dollars worth of spare parts to go back with me to North Dakota. All the usuals for this puzzle car, with a very generous crop - none.  I've cloned out the marque's name  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
