What on earth is this?
Nice spot. It's the well known 412 pickup. Not sure why it's transported on a trailer.

Garage Karl Foitek + Clay Regazzoni + Etienne Aigner
Yesterday someone submitted the two pictures below. Honestly I had no clue who he was.
But now I do: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clay_Regazzoni
By doing a reverse lookup I also found this article:

When doing a reverse look up on this picture I saw that Paul D on the Ferrari 400 forum also had this picture posted. I vaguely remembered the picture. In any case, he makes an interesting observation regarding the background of this picture. It might be very well a promotional picture for Etienne Aigner who ran an exclusive fashion shop and was a sponsor of Clay:

As described in the Wikipedia his brand logo is the A in the form of a horsehoe. This was very present on the formula 1 clothing of Clay.

Hellenic Motor Museum Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2
I saw this posting on FB today and spotted this black Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 in the background:
Of course I did some further checking and found these additional pictures via Flickr. Apparently it was already spotted in the past by Paul D. So just for the records. I must say, they have a very nice collection. Find hereby their media links:

Facebook : Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2, 400 and 412 appreciation society
Did you know there is also a FB page about the 365/400/412 ?
For those people who see these cars for what they are, underrated gems. Simple elegant design and gorgeous V12 engine.
So time to join in - you don't have to own a 365/400/412 to contribute. Any related input is welcomed:
Jan 1999 Magazine Classic & Sportscar - Family supercars
I spotted this magazine on Ebay with a very nice cover:
I like them both. Interesting to see the mentioned price. Whilst the Espada has easily quadrupled in price for a good specimen the 400 hardly moved up. Although in Mainland Europe prices are a bit better then in the UK or USA. Which I find odd as there are now very few RHD left - I guess the remaining ones are now shifted between UK, Japan and Australia. Furthermore I consider the UK the nr 1 car nation (in Europe) so you would expect a higher interest. As for the USA you would expect a higher interest as well since they have never been officially sold overthere. But they are on offer for relative low prices - I guess the Dollar/Euro value plays an important role as well. As a result quite a few have been imported back to Europe and put up for sale overhere. As for the design of these cars it's clearly a matter of personal taste. But apparently the majority are not very keen on both of them. As such it makes me wonder why the Espada is considered more popular over the 400. I visited the Lamborghini museum this summer and most models were present except the Espada. Almost similar as in the Ferrari Museum in Maranello were a lot of models are present, except the 365/400/412.
In any case, if one of you does happen to have this magazine then please make a digital copy and share it with me please so I can put it on my shared Google drive and we all can enjoy it.
