AH, the days of white T-shirts and blue jeans.
I used to dress like that , UNTIL, movies such as Beach Blanket Bingo came out and then I got Ma and Dad to buy me Surf Shirt T-shirts with the horizontal stripes.

I went to that Ferrari design exhibtion in Lonodn , it was excellent with lots of achive documents and asctual engines and cars.
For me a highlight was teh video of the Ferrari styling studio using modelling clay to do the full size models for digital scanning, the modeler giving the commentary on his work was not some Italian but a guy clealry from deepest Estuary Essex!
As Ford had its styling centre in Essex for amny years and their modellers had an outstaning reputaton I presume he had gone from pie and chips to Linguini etc.
