The usual MFH shenanigans dealt with, the P4 is now complete. A lot of gentle twisting and filing to get the three major body panels to fit has led to something pretty decent in my humble opinion, but you be the judge.
What a gorgeous car! We'll even forgive the dorky faired-in mirrors as used at Le Mans. And the curvy front is let down by the brutal slab of the rear end.
Comparison with the smaller and daintier 206 S as run in the 1966 Targa is instructive. Doubling the displacement meant the curvaceous shape needed to be a bit more aggressive, but this was done with a lot of delicacy. Clearly there was something in the water at Maranello.
So what's next? A good cleanup of the bench first, then we'll see. Stay tuned!
