I had a dear friend who loved all italian cars. He owned a pristine '68 Fiat Dino Spyder which won it's class at the 2004 Concorso d'Italiano at Pebble Beach. photo below:
Owen also owned a pristine Ferrari 275 GTS (which he autocrossed!) -

Owen believed in driving these cars the way they were meant to be driven.
Sadly, Owen passed away from cancer barely in his mid-50's a year ago next week. All of us who knew, drove and wrenched with Owen miss him terribly.
