    They are ALL red, tornapart - the rest are mistakes in color choice.

    Terry, I am puzzled by your car choice. There was an E-type Jaguar with 12 cylinders, but that engine was not of Maserati origin.

    BTW - Maserati has never produced a road going V-12 engine, other than their version of the Ferrari Enzo - which had a Ferrari engine.

    Sort of an in-joke, James. My favorite film composer John Barry drove an E-type Jag that had a Maserati engine dropped in back in the mid 60's when he was

    married to his wife Jane Birkin. I remember lusting after either his wife, his career or his car!
