Spotted in a French Museum

Hopefully an interesting 'Spotted' - certainly an unusual one.

Whilst in France recently, I managed to convince the family into a morning at the Musée Automobile de Vendée. I was expecting to see a lot of French pre war cars, but what I didn't expect to see was a little Barchetta racing car, designed by Frank and Mike Costin (of Cosworth fame), featuring a 2.0 Alpina engine. It made my day!
