Lovely cars and a cool story. Thanks for sharing.

Is it wrong that the Elite catches my eye more readily than the 246?

For me, the Dino wins hands down. I’ve never seen another one on the road but I actually did see another Elite for the first time a few weeks ago in QLD, Australia of all places.

I’ll never forget the time my dad wanted us to take a spin in the Elite, opened the drivers side door and it promptly fell off because the hinge had rusted. Old cars, eh.

Very special. IMO the short cam 65º V6 coupled with a stainless exhaust is the best engine I've ever experienced. I had a Fiat Dino with the same engine - most got broken up for parts to feed the demand for parts.
