Im looking now to post in regards to my battery. It has now, In several months, gone bad. Ive removed it and taken it in to find bad battery and replaced. Coincidence that its happened twice now? Interior lights come on, key in ignition buzz works but wont start. Just clicks. New battery and it starts right up. Just curious if I should be looking for another issue causing this. Thank you in advace

Welcome to the forum! Beautiful classic car!

I suspect you have a short the drains the battery. I had a Maserati Granturismo years ago and had to replace the battery twice/year even though I used a trickle charger. I must admit, I didn't use the charges as often as I should have.
