Some friends of mine, Dave Wilkie and Nico Tonello, (they work at Fords' GHIA
studio) ran Daves' '66 Jag E-Type Coupe in last years race. They could not
enter legally, so they made up fake race decals for the car and tucked into the
middle of the pack. The Italian police (and race officials!) never suspected a
thing :-). They ran the entire last day. They said the crowds loved it.
