    Anyone ever seen this prototype?

    So sorry, text is in dutch. (or french)

    Try to read the whole article and remember the name: Jacques Swaters. So far I had no idea who he was, but having a page on wikipedia means a lot.

    The Pinin is quite famous. Originally just a static display car. It was sold sometime in the last few years, fitted with a V12, and made to run and drive.

    It’s a cool car for sure.

    It has its own Wikipedia page too.

    Seems it was this very Jacques Swaters, that convinced Enzo to put a V12 in it.

    It had a flat 12 in it not a V 12 unless someone converted it which would be unlikely. It had no place for filler neck as a concept car and the windows dont open.

    Yep, I was to fast. It was a 12, and I concluded it was a V. Sorry for that. Ofcourse Ferrari made some fabulous 12 flats as well. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

    Ok. A 180 degree V12. We aren’t going to hash that one out again are we? :)

    Don't talk me about oil. Yesterday, I brought one of my cars, the one my daughter drives, to the garage to have the winter tyres fitted. I was amazed to see the service check mentioned -5000. Means the oil has been sitting for 38K km. Holy!!!!

    There is a Davide Cironi interview with Mauro Forghieri on the Pinin , I could only find the version with French subtitles:



    There must be an English subtitles version somewhere but I could not find it.
