Sometimes it’s a box of chocolates you get that forces you to take little nibbles out of them to see what’s what, or a line-up of a dozen or more of the same model of something spanning a few years to see that what you thought was the same is subtly different. I’m sure you remember the day you saw an early 750 ‘eyebrow’ Sprint beside a later 101 ‘eggcrate’ Sprint and the heavens opened in that a-ha moment -they are the same car but utterly different. Well, I happen to have a nonet of Giulietta gauges on my dining table staring me down and just such a thing is happening. What I regarded as vaguely homogenous has demonstrated itself to be quite heterogeneous -especially in their elderly state.
In all their glory and with a sprinkling of other fun stuff -the gauges! Let’s see, I have two Veloce 140 MPH speedometers, 2 2000 – 8000 Veloce Tachometers, one English, one Italian, two tri-gauges, a normal speedometer, a normal tachometer and an empty tach case. Why? Because I can.
