Only the French with the help of Italians could could come up with something as radical as this.
A proper dream car,not like anything else.
Apparently you could still go to work on drugs in the 70's.
Manifique!

Jensen Interceptor : With EFI and an overdrive it's apparently possible to get 20mpg.... OK, so you need to raise the C/R too.... Otherwise, maybe 5 around town and up to oh 12-15 on a run.

Maserati Bora : Know nothing about them but have loved the shape since I was 3' high.

I had one of these back in the 80's. 1500cc 5 speed X19 used to stick to the road like glue.



Wanted one of these though.

I use to have one of these Fiat 128 3p Berlinetta.

I had three in total - robbing two to keep the other on the road! Mine was de-bumpered, but I wish I had those wheel arches !
