Very cool about 1121! Darren, Can we have this thread somehow incorporated into your website (with Rob's permission of course)? I thinkthe material in the thread is a nice complement to what is in your site. Regards, Art S.
And then, there is 1957GT with 400mm wheels. john http://web.mac.com/ferrari250pfcoupe/iWeb/250%20PF%20Coupe%20/1957.html
So does anybody have info on them? Did they come from the factory with covered headlights? Someone says it ruins the proportions with covered headlights but I would like to see one in person to decide for myself. Tom W
Good idea. Let em email Rob and see if he minds if I link the registry back to ferrarichat. Can't imagine he will have a problem but polite to ask. Darren.
Kinda makes you look for the fuzzy dice on the mirror, wide white sidewall tires, and Yosemite Sam mud flaps!
Recently bought this rare photo from someone in Northern Ireland. It's the Agnelli car again. The sunroof is clearly visible. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Thanks for posting this. It's interesting about black wire wheels. It was a pre-war thing, especially with the Brits. Then after the war very few carried on with it. Aston Martin was one that did black wheels on their earlier post war sports car, the DB2. john
How are the headlight covers secured to the body on those cars that have them? I do not see any provision to attach them on our car. Ed
I fulle agree; just another case of two tangled cars that might be very hard to untangle. I would bet that the Greene connection of 1751GT is simply wrong, he owned 1121GT insted. Best wishes, Kare
This is a detail of 1751GT. There were two small "tabs" one at the ten and the other at the 2 o'clock position molded into the covers. These tabs fit into notches in the fender. They were fixed by a single screw at the forward most point. The screw was threaded into what was basically a captive nut. When I owned the car wags often said that the covers were from an Alfa Duetto. The Carello part nuimbers were not the same however. Ron Hetherington Image Unavailable, Please Login
Ed, the covers would not work on your car as the headlights are recessed back into the fender. Regards, Art S.
Which cars are these two? See the photo at this site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dacia/sets/653482/
John V., The shop is RPM VT (owned by the Markowskis). Steve Markowski posts here occasionally (I think he goes by the name Fontana) but posts much more regularly on Tom Yang's site. Regards, Art S.
John The silver car is the often debated (as in is it or is not a Speciale) #1007 judging by the Ferrari script on the nose. http://web.mac.com/ferrari250pfcoupe/iweb/250%20PF%20Coupe%20/1007.html Best Darren.
Darren, Although I have not spoken to the Markowskis recently, I think there are two silver PF Coupes there, 1007 is one of them. Regards, Art S.
I only saw one last weekend and Peter said the one with a lot of "special" interior additions is back in Florida. Yale
Hi Art, Both cars are not silver. The other car is white. I think this car was displayed at Owels Head Transportation Museum in Rockland, Maine. This picture was taken in about 2005 while it was at the museum. The thing that may identify this car is that it has the signal lights both on the pillars and the front wings. From what I can tell it has drum brakes and wears Pilote rubber. Can anyone confirm? john Image Unavailable, Please Login
John: It certainly is curious to see the side marker lights on the post, which is typical of Series I cars, and another one on the wings, typical of Series II cars. Maybe it was transitional or the mechanics could not agree that day about where to put them. Pretty car with pretty color, but I like our darker grey better. Ed
