From Sports Car Illustrated – November, 1957.
“Every hot-blooded male that is lucky enough to spectate at, or participate in, a road event departs at the day’s end with an almost overwhelmingly desire to own ‘that fabulous Ferrari’. The only difference was that Larry [Eave] didn’t want to buy one of Enzo’s screamers; he wanted to build a car that would stay with them.”
