Seeing some cars with the spare wheel held on with bungy cord just to satisfy an ancient rule that really applied to cars from a past age makes one shudder to think what would have happened if the said wheel fell off.
So Gavin, the spare wheel on the Ferrari was put there just so the car could race in Australia? Most of the Aussie built sports cars were designed with the spare wheel rule in mind, creating a space for it beneath the windscreen as the very early Can-Am cars did. But obviously the Ferrari was built to a set of regulations that that had moved on from where Aus was at the time, hense the spare hanging off the back?
