Mandy Rice-Davies, a keen dashboard aficionado, observed: "He would, wouldn't he?"

The car on the Thames Ditton village green is COB6106 and no doubt is the same car on the show stand. More info on this 289 can be found in the 'Motor' magazine road test, week ending October 14 1967.
   
   Sadly, it was bastardised to 427 spec by uncaring owner (c/o Brian Angliss) back in the mid-70s. RIP.
   
   (No information on the Abarth though....)
