Despite all of these shortcomings, the Sten still has a long track record of shooting people right in the face.

My uncle's 72 Lancia Sport is still running strong. I think the only thing he's done to it after import is to retune for high elevation and have the radiator rebuilt. He sent me a shaky cockpit vid in which you cannot see much but drat that little V4 sounds great.

E: He sent me this article on Lancias.

That's sweet but of all the Ferarri engines they chose the one with the absurdly low timing belt interval?

E: I guess being a race car it gets pulled open all the time anyway? I dunno.

I sent that link to my uncle (a 348ts owner once like you) and mentioned the engine and he said something like I was nervous anytime I ran it up to 7k rpm because of the timing belt, sold that car and never looked back. I guess if it's a young belt it's good to go but the short life doesn't inspire confidence. Yours blew under mileage but over-life right?

Man that car looks so good on the outside. It still boggles my mind that Ferrari made so many incredible looking cars. It's just sheet metal.
