    or almost, and goes as she looks. Tons of fun on Swiss back roads. My father's car. Fully restored, all rusty panels fabricated and replaced, body rust proved form inside out, engine and gearbox rebuilt with new pistons and valves etc. Engine run in for 8h on stand before refitting. Apparently optional big carbs and Ansa exhaust. Interior mostly cleaned up original trim except dash and seat bolsters. 91'000km, probably correct from the history we know. Car originally delivered to Monaco Motors in Monte Carly via Pozzi in Paris, still retains the yellow headlights. The car was sold to Switzerland around 1980. My father bought it in 1989 as the 6th owner in Switzerland.

    That is a beauty. Are those new RS BBS wheels or restored?

    Thanks Nino. The wheels are period, they came with the car when we bought it. They are just cleaned up, not restored.

    Beautiful. Blue looks great on a GT4 and I like the blue-white interior. Fun. Great to see the GT4 being appreciated.

    Thanks Peter, that blue was the color of delivery, but the wheels came later at some stage.

    Thanks Jon, the interior is actually blue-beige, just looks washed out due to my photographic skills!

    Blu sera is perhaps my favorite color on a GT4. So pretty. Interesting how they rotated the rear engine mount flanges to connect the lifting strap. I assume that puts the engine on the right angle for installation? Now I look more closely they appear to be purpose built lifting lugs.

    Hello,

    What do you mean with option big carbs ?
    Are they not 40 DCNF Weber ?

    The installation does indeed need this sort of angle.

    Looks great and hope you get to enjoy it the rest of summer. I've only seen a very few with that striking interior combo. Appreciate you sharing the photos.

    Thanks Erik. I am back in HK but my father and brother back home drive it on nice weekends. I do like the blue Dinos a lot myself, and the color combination is really quite striking - very '70s.

    Hi - I am checking on that. The specialist who rebuilt and ran the engine on the stand to test for leaks etc and adjust everything said so. They are Webers, but apparently something is larger than standard. He offered to buy them from us for his racing GT4 in case we wanted original ones.

    Very nice car! I just put BBS RS rims on my GT4 this weekend. I will post pics soon. It's does Drive a lot better going from 14" to 16" rims. It is hard to find original BBS RS rims with the 5x108 offset. Took me 2 years. Lucky Al from strictly Ferrari was selling a set which I just purchased. I am very happy with them!
