This is weird. But I kind of like it.

It's very good, but it's a replica, not original

That said, I suppose it would be double the price for an original works car...

Oh! That must be in the small print? What's the thing sticking up out of the rear, looks like winch?

The small print is "tribute" (aka reproduction) in the description. That "snorkel" is an air intake.

I bet it uses a lot of fuel.

There are a couple of replicas "Downunder", with one being owned and raced by Wazza (owner of the only known Coupe to have had a "fight" with a kangaroo).

I hit one in my coupe a few months ago. Fortunately it was small, already dead on the road, and it was in a 60kph area due to roadwork. The undertray seemed to skim over the top of it, and there was some fur on the exhaust when I stopped to have a look, otherwise no damage.

Mick, at least the one you hit was a "Wazzaroo" ie, already dead; the one that Wazza hit was very much alive and damaged the bonnet. You were lucky.

Maurie seems happy with the Argenta and his other new toy, recently in from Italia, a 131 Abarth.
