The interesting thing is that the 308 chassis was designed originally
to take the Columbo V12. No one picked up on that until a Califiornia
owner got the bizarre idea to see if a V12 would fit. It did, albeit
with some extensive fabrication, but only just-it had to have been
designed that way from the beginning.

More bizarre was the 330 P three seater. Rumor has it it was
originally designed for a DOHC scratchbuilt broad arrow twelve-thirty
years after the Napier Railton and thirty years before a W-12 F1 engine
effort recently.
