"Quirky but rewarding, and seats you + 3 friends, kids, dogs"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The car did not have any significant problem while in my care.

Inherited a leaky steering rack. Repaired by replacing a gasket at a cost of $50.

In order to run consistently well, the carburetors required frequent adjustment and synchronization, but not unreasonable intervals among its contemporaries.

General comments?

With its 350hp engine, the car was very quick for a 2+2, especially going straight.

Exhaust sound was terrific.

The interior was a bit of a hodge-podge, and included a few crude touches, such as box-like plywood center console, but the cabin was still a relatively nice place to be.

Lovely black crinkle-finished V-12 is still worth staring at after 35 years.

Luggage space was surprisingly roomy.

Love or hate the unusual exterior styling, the car turned heads like few others.

Who cares about the gas mileage. It is a classic v12!

How roomy is the driver seat. I am tall 6'6". Would you say it's roomy or small? (since it is Italian)
