Excellent for the little-known sport of Zuffenhausen Nascar Nicole. A more slippery right side made the 928 naturally zoom around the oval over and over and over. It's said that the driver would often simply take his hands off the wheel and crawl to the rear deck for a nap

Ian928,

The prototypes probably didn't have coloured lenses.

Here is the 928 being presented to shareholders or something... (not even badged yet)

Perhaps the VERY wide interior mirror reduced the need for a passenger mirror...

I recently went though an exhaustive search to find replacement lights for my 85 Euro. They were not from a Jeep or Toyota but a Ferrari. They look similar to what is in your picture but I don’t think they protrude as much. They line up with the factory holes.

I ordered them online for $15-$20.

You might search for my post a few months ago with the web address, etc.

After finding the Ferrari part number did you cross reference it to the identical FIAT part?

hmm I guess I am lucky, my 81 euro only has the factory Euro side lenses, none of those ugly side lights.

I love US markers, and I think the euro ones look like jeep parts
Heinrich, I think the shape of the U.S markers may be better but the location they put them in is Dumbola! The front side ones are right next to the front blinkers. Err a bit pointless wouldn't you say? But if the euro ones weren't there you could have a nice set of shark giles, to let the pressurized air out. Like the Carrara GT and the F40 and so on and so on.

Then again the minimalist look is normally what I go for, but I like design with functionality.
