That car was for sale on ebay 1-2 years ago. It's all done up with ferrari logos everywhere. I can't remember if the seller was trying to sell it as a Fiat or Ferrari. I'm sure there is an old thread on the forum here if you search, the ebay link will be bad, but I'm sure we all had a few laughs at the listing.

I have about 7 pictures of the front end and hood scoops saved on my computer if anyone wants to see, they are thumbnail size and pretty small though.

It's a sweet looking car, except for the prancing horses. I would love to see more pics.

Look what I happened to find: http://jalopnik.com/380786/looking-for- ... der-azzura

I like the hood scoops as well. Very nicely done.

Interesting application of rooftop running lights for turn signals.

Good eye azruss. That is an interesting solution to the age old turn signal replacement problem.
