Racing Australian Ferrari 50/60s 250pf

1973 was RHD

 

R McD has one with roof air, light blue one.

 

I don't know that car,unless its the one that came in a few years ago.
Got help the owner having it down there with that madman.

 

same owner of the 250pf also has a 250GTE

 

He is the owner

 

Oh yes he claims its an Australian delivered car.
I grew up in the same street as that man.

 

And he restored it when he was 13 years old.

 

no he bought it years latter.
I'm so lucky to have owned a bentley conti he did the motor on with his own deseigned pistons,claimed it was capable of 140 mph.forget about gearing and the fact RR V8s get valve bounce at about 4,800 revs.
keep your clients away from him.

 

i had a stand up blew with him at the RROC federal rally in 2008,when i was 10 stone and getting over my cancer treatment,in front of about 200 people whom had sat down to a dinner.
Bad mouthed my brother inlaw and sister,i suggest it would be unwise for him to go down that track,weak prick backed down.

Sounds familiar.

 

Dont know how you ever bought yourself to sell that car

 

and thinks he can drive.
years ago my step father was passed by him,Robert was driving Corniche at high speed,my mother turned to my father who can drive, ask DD if Stan could drive his Cloud3.
and said take him stan,and he did.

 

its called lack of usage and retirement,if I lived in NSW where the BDC is strong I would have kept her.
far nicer car to drive fast on a the open roads then any 60s car i can think of.

I would upload pics of the ads, but given I'm Mr El-Cheapo and unsubscribed, I've used up my upload space. And it won't let me delete any previously uploaded stuff to make space....

He used to tell me how he broke all these lap records with his Daytona, I was weary of the stories and decided to investigate, yes the car was fast and yes driven by his brother. I ran his panel shop for 8 years, you could actually start a whole new website with these stories. In saying that he taught me a hell of a lot about RR and Bently cars, if I wanted to know anything about a certain car he always took the time to answer my questions.

 

what was the tale.
Middle aged man drops car in for work,his estate picks it up or pays for repairs after he has died.
What happened to the major?

 

I never saw him lap dash that Daytona,when which was rare Noel drove it.

 

Saw that a few times.

 

i was keen to buy a mid metallic blue with magnolia S3 of him,had factory A/c,but no sundym glass (which was standard with factory A/C)
I asked him where the tint was,he just walked of.
Nutcase.

 

Ah you intimidated him, dont you understand that it's not possible to know more about these cars than him, that would have been a special car built for the OZ winter.

 

LOL,he was telling me howhe had tens of millions stashed overseas.
what happened to his Bentley corniche? the one he smashed.

 

He still has it, beautiful car.

 

very rare car.
Did you ever do any work on the late Mr terry's cars?

 

Did a bit for Bruce, funny that, there is still a mint S3 conti sitting at Roberts that belonged to him.
Did an old convertable Buick up for him and various bits and pieces on his RR's. When I opened this place up he was going to look around for a good RR for me to do up for him, he was a real gentleman (funny bastard too!)
