Merged: 0117 S - This Week's Barn Find

Brian, I think you found and important detail ; the body is placed on a chassis of a 195 inter and its wheelbase is 2500mm.The body is necessary a 118 121 LM ?? How many 118 121 LM were built ? (six ), the choice will be reduce .

 

How can I contact mister Richard Mc Govern who live in California and has bought the 117 S engine to put in his 212 inter 0131.
Anybody could help me to contact him ?
Thank you.

 

Interesting coincidence--I just posted something about 0131 in the "engine swap" thread. Don't know McGovern but if you know where in California you could try using "Zabasearch."

 

Thus the original engine for 0131 S needs to be found and restored to perfect order ... then I'm sure he will be more interested in a swap .

Pete

 

Does that motor still exist?

 

Marcel Massini, I am happy to speak with the finder of 117 S.
I am sure that Mr Mc Govern does not want to sell his engine, but it is very probably that in the future near or not, the 117S engine will come back in 117 S Car; I think like PSK that a swap or an agreement may be found.
Anybody can help me to contact Mr McGovern to San Jose.
I think that you would not recognize your find, the muffler was (repair) put back in correspondence and the car does not backfire any more, the tank was treated and the car does not fall any more breakdown all the kilometres, logo Ferrari were painted on each side of the automobile, both leather strips to fix the hood are going to be placed and I clean all the rust which is on the chassis (hard and fastidious); In September a professional will be in charge of "erasing" the defects of painting and body and of putting back to his place the cork of dry sump.
Can give me myself other information which I ignore ?
THANK YOU.

One more thought on Peter Helm's ownership: Lyle Tanner was a friend of Peter's in those days. Lyle sells Ferrari parts; try googling Lyle Tanner Enterprises to find him. Maybe he remembers something.

 

ed Niles,
I have just sent an email to Lyle Tanner, I inform you if I have news.
thank you very much.
Guy

 

Dear Marcel Massini, I can imagine you have already tried very hard,but I can try also and I have more time.
I don't know Richard and Diane Mc Govern, but if they love cars,nothing is impossible,no ?
You know much things about 117 S, please teach me these things.

 

Again, does the original motor from 0131E still exist? Does anyone know?

 

ED NILES,
find the answer of LYLE TANNER :"Sorry, I haven't spoken to Peter for over 40 years. Both his sister Anne Helm and his wife Brooke Helm were actresses. You may be able to reach him through one of them."
difficult !! difficult !!

 

This may be of some help:

Are we talking about Peter Helm, the actor born around 1941? If so, perhaps he can be contacted through the Screen Actors Guild. I don't think they would give anyone his current telephone number or address, but they might be willing to take your information and have Mr.Helm contact you if he was willing to do so. He also teaches at the Vancouver, Canada film school. Years ago, I was looking for information on an Alfa Romeo 10204 series car with Vignale body (only 47 cars were made in that series) owned at one time by the actress Angie Dickinson. The Screen Actors Guild put me in touch with her agent, I sent her agent a photo of the car, and about 2 weeks later the agent called me and confirmed that Angie Dickinson had owned the car, but didn't know any more about it....

Dr etc: Peter Helm is right here in Canyon Country, CA. Martteen: you have a private message.

 

DRETCETERINI,Very good idea, I shall try tomorrow to send a mail to Hollywood and Canada.
If you have other good ideas do not hesitate has to subject them to me, this thread is really great, I have the impression that things move and that the zones of shadow of 117S will soon be a being levying.(French Translation ??).
THANKS

 

Anybody can confirm me that 117S is well around the 50th (or less) car built by Ferrari ?
one 125 S (11 may 1947) + 39 116 ( 1947 - 1953) + 27 195 (1950 - 1952)
117S leave the factory the 29/03/1951 sold to Ammendola Salvatore the first owner.

 

Enclosed 3 photographs of the trap of dry oil tank, we are going to do again this part and I shall need the original model to rebuild in identity, somebody can send me two or three definite photographs of the hinge and the condemnation of opening it.
Like indicated more high the car will keep its painting of 50 only years but the two or three places very bad will be reparated by a professional.
The car begins running very well.
I search an acronym Scaglietti of epoch.
I have contacted peter Helm by phone and he must whrite me to give details of 117 S.
Thanks
