OLD AUSTRALIAN FERRARI PICTURES

Anglia,pre Brock..LHD?

 

oh I've read about this car, some Kiwi stuck an F1 engine into it or a 250 engine of some kind, was in an old SCW magazine but would take me ages to find it ... was called a Morrari or something equally silly

 

just found some info on it :

The first one was known as the 'Morrari'. It started out as a works Ferrari 555 Super Squalo F1 car. By the mid-60s, it was an old outdated racing car, so its owner, Garth Souness, shortened the wheelbase, fitted a small block Chevy V8, and drapped a low-light Morris Minor body over the top

 

Sounds more credible.

 

The engine went to Len Southward,think ended up in a 750 Monza.The Morrari went to Gavin Bain(Hero Minogue sold him the Lola T430)he swapped the car in the UK for a 375MM.

 

old people have good long term memory but bad short term memory ... what's ya name ????

 

Ps reference "Historic Racing Cars of New Zealand" by Graham Vercoe.

 

cheater !!!

I was using my memory to come up with the Morrari name and was sure it was an ex-F1 car (Super Squalo) and then remembered another nutter used another F1 car to recreate 250GTO facsimilie

 

ERR that was my nic name in Historics.Oh and the 250 GTO thing,Dino 246 #0007.Owner Pat Hoare car now owned by one of my heros Brit Neil Corner.

 

<tips hat> correct
