There is or at least was one in Regina for many years. I have seen it on several ocassions, though not in the last 2 years. I even know where it lives but when I spoke directly with the owner directly he would not admit to owning it.

Glen ------------------------------------------------------------ Stephen Ross wrote: Roy, My collection is odd and generally without rhyme or reason.I have owned my Fiat for 24 years.It is in 1- Condition.It"s not worth much ($5,000 on a good day).I keep it because it"s the car I"ve had since I was in university.I love driving it and it"s been very good to me (last year I finally wnet over $4,000 in service invoices). The gullwing fell into my lap.I was visiting with a friend one day and he asked me if I wanted to buy one.Another friend of his was dying of cancer and liquidating - so I bought it. I took my gullwing for service to one of two world experts on the car in Victoria.When there, he showed me a Dino he was selling so I bought it. I was flipping through a book my wife bought as Costco for $20.I saw a DB6 and said, "What a cool car."Now I want one.I don"t want a DB5 as they are overpriced right now due to the newest Bond movie and I like the extra 4" so it"s a true 4-seater. I think you get the idea that I just like what I like.I am, however, leaning to more of the blue-chip, conservative type...no Diablo or F40 for me. So, please, please help me find a 350 or 400.... why you ask? Cause I like the styling and I don"t have a V-12 yet.

Although this is off-topic, would you mind sharing the models of the cars in your collection and what made you select those particular models? I am really curious about the Fiat. BTW, why a DB6, and not a 5 ("007")? As an example, I own an Espada and a BMW 750. I think it would be cool to add a V-12 Jaguar convertible as it would give me a convertible, a coupe and a four door sedan, all with V-12 engines. Rational? Hardly. Cool (to me)? Absolutely.
