    Momo (as in the steering wheel people) are well known for running 333SP Ferraris, in the 70's they designed a Can-Am car using 512S drivetrain, which was sanctioned by Ferrari. It wasn't successful, ended up here in the early 80's, minus engine and has been in the very slow process of restoration ever since, using a 365GT4 donk.

    Bob houghton and I bought it in 2005, shipped it to Hong Kong where it proved unsellable. Shipped it back to UK and converted to LH drive, then sold late 2006 to Mario Bernardi in Germany. He still has it. Some photos in HK and UK:

    At the 85 Sydney Rally, we had Police help to run a parade of cars through the city, to the concours venue at the Overseas Passenger Terminal.

    Parade was headed up by 250LM, here's a youthful Spencer Martin setting off.

    Then a sight that we're unlikely to ever see again in Sydney. :(

    wondering if this is your car at the 85 Rally. Recognise the mirror?

    were you at a thing called the Claytons Rally, NSW north coast in 86?

    Looks like Horse, 8th from left. Note the yellow BB again and Trevor B in the plexi Daytona.

    the only true 250LM from memory, was suppose to be upgraded to 275 specs until Enzo found out how far away Australia was for the recall .... or so the story goes

    just noticed in that 1986 photo, 5 out of 14 cars were red, 9 other colours.

    Repeat the exercise today and it would easily be the other way around. :)
