+1 its not a 1975 car

 

What, you believe HIM over the register.

 

book i've got,with all bb chassis #s ect.
Not some FCA fairy tale.

What HE said.

 

OK, I've dug out THE bb book with all the chassis #. RB has this book as well

17839 is 1974

First 1975 car is 18315

End of story

 

There is a story on that car,can't remember what it is.
Motor show car?
does have a 512 trans axle.

 

unhappy ending?

 

Lol lol lol!!

 

never had a happy ending in mine

 

well if it does have a 512 transaxle, then makes sense it was motor show/press car, 365 transaxle wouldnt handle dropping the clutch at 5000rpm to many times

 

85k cars imo.

 

make up your fkn mind

 

I dont think too many Ferrari transaxles can handle that!

 

had the 512 axle put in a few years after it came here.

 

try once

 

I did try when I first bought it, it just stalled

 

I see Wax bought 17445

 

This is how I remember it - probably not all correct

The blue car (on the cover of SCW) was the motor show car from England and was either the first rhd car or 2nd.

When Molly had it they’d changed the transaxle and due to some reason or other the gears were all around the wrong way. I think first was where 5th was and second was where 3rd was etc. Very bizarre!!

The car was charcoal then too.

 

This car back in UK now. Laki Harris installed the 512 trans when he owned it in the mid 80's. It was a common mod, because the 365's had a rep for failures, which was later revealed to be a furphy, the problem was they got the oil capacity wrong. If you overfill (by 2 litres from memory) the trans lasts just fine. Harvey P has original box and its perfect. He drives it as intended too. Gearshift back to front not Laki's fault, cheapskate maintenance by Molly.

No 356/512/TR transaxle will stand "launch control" starts, because of the design of the diff carrier. The torque splits it apart. Whole thing was a bad compromise, they could have used a conventional transaxle and made the car more cab-forward.

 

As a 34 year old lair when I bought my BB, I found this very disappointing

 

Did the Stag smoke em up?

What about Brett, Hey?

 

you're like a dog with a bone ... or a horse with some hay .... ya just won't give it up on poor old, bald, I-don't-really-have-a-ferrari Brettski
