wlaidlaw Posted February 12, 2021 Share #14661 Posted February 12, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) The version I really like is the 812 GTS, where apparently Ferrari took the very sensible step of making the steering less twitchy and softening the throttle response. I know someone who has cancelled his SF90 Hybrid order and is taking a Roma delivery instead. When he test drove it, he said he could not believe how much nicer and different it is to drive, compared to his wife's Portofino, which he does not like at all.

stuny Posted February 12, 2021 Share #14662 Posted February 12, 2021 Wilson - He's gong to spend far less on the Roma than he would have on the SF90. Interesting that he he finds the Roma so much nicer than the Portofino when you consider how much is shared between the two cars. I suppose it makes sense since the marching orders for the Roma was to suggest the great grand touring cars of years past. It would certainly be my choice if I could get low enough on the waiting list, and come up with the cash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted February 12, 2021 Share #14664 Posted February 12, 2021 1970s, US? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted February 12, 2021 Share #14665 Posted February 12, 2021 My first idea was a Ford. But which? Doesn´t look like a Mustang March One, so I thought of a Falcon. Which one, no idea. Must be a hotter one. A GT. There is an XA Superbird but it looks a bit different. Maybe it´s worth searching all the different X-models of it. And there are other non-US market Fords, like Cortinas. A Cortina Hot Rod Muscle car, maybe from SA? Who knows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted February 12, 2021 Share #14666 Posted February 12, 2021 And don´t hang me up if it´s not a Ford. Those square head beams were common 1970s design and also used on Chevrolets etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.j.z Posted February 13, 2021 Share #14670 Posted February 13, 2021 I think it has twin headlights Japanese? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.j.z Posted February 13, 2021 Share #14671 Posted February 13, 2021 Something like a Toyota Celica. The lights and the grille would fit but the air intake looks different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham (G4FUJ) Posted February 13, 2021 Share #14672 Posted February 13, 2021 First thought was Rover 2000/3500 (P6?) but on closer look I think the grille are different. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted February 13, 2021 Share #14673 Posted February 13, 2021 Graham, The later P6 3500 (1973) had a grille very like that. Probably less attractive but cheaper moulded plastic than the earlier metal grille. Wilson 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelG Posted February 13, 2021 Share #14674 Posted February 13, 2021 Very very impressive - I chose a particularly tricky/misleading crop IMHO. The wider crop should settle things.

NigelG Posted February 13, 2021 Share #14677 Posted February 13, 2021 Yes - 1975 Rover P6 3500 V8 - will post the full pic in a bit but I very much thought that Graham deserved “the points” as I had made it very hard I thought with that crop and he had made the leap to the P6. It was interesting when I was selecting the crop how much by hiding the second light and the curve of the plastic grille it did begin to look both US and Japanese 70s as others obviously saw too... Maybe the quality coachwork of the lower bonnet edge might have hinted “British” 😉 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(a „Fordish“ third world license production which was heavily used and repaired in the „bush“ over decades - so in a way 1970s British, haha) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted February 13, 2021 Share #14679 Posted February 13, 2021 Never seen a later plastic grille P6 over here in Germany. At least not from so close, that was a tricky crop for a non british guy 😉 I tried to check the letters on the grille which reflected on the chrome bumper but with no sufficient result.
