    That’s the point I was making,, He has had a nice range from old to newer..
    My personal favourite being the 365GTC/4..
    I have only seen one of them in person..
    That car is real Boss material IMO

    Greg Have you driven a Daytona?
    If so, was there a difference between that and the 365GTC/4 ?

    No I haven’t. Ian drove my C4 extensively on a GG once, he’d be able to comment

    I'll be cracking mine soon (ish). I'm thinking a well-bought F12

    C4 is a nice touring car, Daytona much more focused and a bona fide supercar (by late 60's early 70's standards). If you enjoy driving fast, there's no comparison.

    Daytona has better steering & gearbox, more power, feels better planted on the road. The controls are perfectly matched and weighted for high speed driving, the downside is everything feels heavy and hard work below 60mph.

    Interestingly, when I drove Miles' plexi Daytona, the steering was 20% lighter. They changed to a stronger steering box for later models. One of several reasons a plexi is the most desirable.

    Yes, early cars had same steering box as a 275, which is also a lighter feeling car. Greg should cash in his Albanian immigration business and buy one.

    Is a Daytona a breed of goat?

    I have no idea what I’m talking about, but when guys like this say a monkey could make money in the current environment, we are surely heading for a reckoning? This party fueled by virtually free money has to come to an end sometime?
