From the 50s:
"Enzo Ferrari was only building a handful of road cars every year, primarily as a grudging means of financing his beloved racing team. Most shared the same basic chassis and engine with the racers, but were clothed in bespoke coachwork by outside firms, which led more than one buyer to complain to Mr. Ferrari that his cars weren’t fully developed.
“
I only sell you the engine,” was his haughty reply, “
the rest you get for free.”"
