 I was having my cars' oil change today and in the show room was an orange 79 M1.  It has been at least 15 years since I have seen one in person. The last time I saw one, actually three, was at the BMW corral when the Italian Concorso was being held at the Quail. It was the owners personal car and I being a car guy and knowledgable about the car, it's wheel manufacture and production one of service guys opened up the doors so I could look inside,  at the engine and talk with him for awhile. What a beautiful car and the level of detail, fitment and condition was amazing for a car built in 1979. Here is the thing, it is also interesting just how many similar styling cues the car has in common with the Pantera (Pcar content) and cues that were taken from the Muira and cues that would be used in future Lamborghinis  and although the cockpit has the same amount of interior space it is much more roomy and comfortable than the interior of a Pantera. Asked how big of check would it take to drive it home, the service guy said the owner still loves driving it from time to time as noted by the recently installed tires and he would not sell it while still alive.

Cheers Paul
