Gorgeous....

I always feel a bit jealous when I read the performance stats of the SA version Racing. So much better than the series 2 version. The comments about it in the road tests seem over the top for what we know of the series 2 version, braking, accuracy of the speedo, overall performance, etc but I guess they must be correct......I think it's time that Heini built a replica!!!

Wonderful car, especially for the ones with the well known "Series-One-Nitis"...
