“BUT I HAVE TO DISAGREE WITH CLIFF CHAMBERS”

Sean Stakes

ED: What a great story, Sean. You’re lucky neither Faine nor I were there, as you would have been trampled in the rush to snatch the keys. That was one hell of a bargain – though as you imply, it could have gone either way. Thanks for sharing.

WHO’S UGLY?

I’m just reading your October edition of Unique Cars, which I enjoy. It’s a matter of opinion, but I have to disagree with Cliff Chambers that the Lancia Flaminia Sport (Zagato) is a ‘fearsomely ugly’ car.

Here it is: tinyurl.com/yaoz82bz

I suspect he has got his wires crossed and meant to refer to the Flavia Sport (Zagato): tinyurl.com/ y8re39p5

More handsome than ugly, but again a matter of opinion. Rob Alsop ED: Ugly is definitely in the eye of the beholder, Rob, and there’s no question the second car is visually challenged!

PONY PARTY

Sometimes the Automotive universe aligns ...We were selling a mint VE SV6 60th anniversary ute and I decided to go down to our warehouse in our 64 Mustang convertible, just to give it a run – when the soon to be buyer of the ute pulled in in his 2017 GT, at exactly the same time. A happy coincidence, that was too good to pass up as a photo opportunity! (See attached) Even better, the dad bought the SV6 ute on the spot for his son, so no more tyre kickers - on that one at least.... Troy Daly ED:

Glad an enthusiast bought the ute, Troy ,and thanks for the pony pic. The bloodline is clear.
