Lindsay Fox, a former truck driver/owner (who is now filty rich and owns plenty of trucks amongst other things) has 9 of these lovely autos in his collection and plenty of other tasty cars, IIRC 4 Gullwings & 5 Roadsters. Heres a transcript of an interview with the old, rich bugger. http://www.abc.net.au/gnt/profiles/Transcripts/s1175302.htm

When I buy a classic, this will definately be one of them along with the Ferrari 250 GTO.
