Beautiful car indeed. I had the pleasure/opportunity to see it up close and personal while it was at Hjeltness Restoration here in SoCal, being prepped and detailed for the show.

Lovely indeed but I still think Mr. Bracq's looks better:-)

I must say, I agree on one point...I think Mr Bracq's looks better too... although I can't agree on the 'lovely' point.

Each to their own but I think looks dreadful.

Like Johnny B, I have seen it in the flesh in CA and I have to say that it looks much better than the photos and go so far as to say it is stunning. It is realy quite beautifully built and in pristine condition.

John,
there is no need to be diplomatic. Those of us who have actually seen the car, walked around it and sat in it know that it is NOT "dreadful".

I can't say that I care for the one off pininfarina 230.
