    The car was delivered to Heathrow this morning, it is in the right area for being loaded onto the pallet. I'm awaiting photos. It is currently booked on a flight Monday lunchtime to New York JFK airport.

    I received an exciting phone call yesterday from Ferrari who asked me if #0895gt could be exhibited in the Sotheby's building during the weekend of the New York 70th anniversary celebrations. I of course said yes and asked if they would like me to leave the stickers on because I thought it would be quite fun to show that the car did both the rally and the concorso. They're going to get back to me on that.

    Mark, make sure they know do not remove the stickers! And also see if the organizers have any spare ones they might give you- you can frame them to relive the memories. What a gorgeous car!

    Thank you! No extra stickers unfortunately but either before or after the NY event I will remove them carefully and attach them to something so I keep them for the file.

    I am a nervous wreck! At least I heard the plane landed and the car is at JFK. Hopefully it will be cleared tomorrow and Wide World can collect.

    I can't even imagine what the "FedEx International Overnight" cost is for flying a car ;)

    I imagine you may not want to tell us? :D

    Mark - I thought you had a thread on the restoration of this car? I just did a search and could not find it - am I just missing it?

    Thanks.

    I'm happy to tell you, I already answered the question of what it cost on the way out (about $13k iirc) and I don't know the price of the Virgin flight back but should be more like $6-7k. Happy to share exact cost when I get it.

    No I didn't do a thread on the resto of this car, which was finished mid 2015

    Thanks, Mark. That's actually much less than I thought it would be.
