    and more so because it doesn't have one of those aerials stuck above the windshield! Some funky extra lights above the front bumpers though...:(

    Interesting how inaccurately the text appears to assess details & features.
    OTOH, OEM seat adjustments, especially for rake/tilt (= back adjustment ?) have been found to be notoriously lacking intended expectations and if the car used for the article featured their typical fabrication shortcomings...

    It’s amazing to think of the forces at play when that rear wheel, assisted with the weight of the car, is trying to push itself out of the tire, which OTOH is holding on to its dear life with the aid of compressed air.

    Thanks. One can clearly see same effect on that photo.

    Even though I'm not into racing, personally or spectating, there's been few occasion over the years/decades I've thought of how the tires might look (similar to this ? :eek:) when driving my vintage cars spiritedly on some tight curves on twisty mountain roads... :)

    Just last week did a bit of road testing with one of the 365s after a wheel alignment and while the onboard video footage looks and sounds pretty good, couldn't manage much over XXX due to traffic constraints. :rolleyes:

    While the car appears to feature number of small (relatively easy to correct), non-OEM discrepancies, it is quite refreshing not to see one of the most common, major "mistake"(?) repeatedly applied during comprehensive refreshments/restorations of these cars.

    Define “subtle”. :eek:
    Besides, this picture with its own list of non-OEM “subtleties”(?) was not the subject my earlier comments. ;)

    Small details that are different than what might be expected to be seen in a factory fresh build circa October 1969.
