    Must admit its quite nice to also see some of the long forgotten normal everyday period cars as well in those last few shots. Reminds of growing up in the 70s :)

    Just to set the record straight ,the 365 GTC/4 #15553 did in fact have a brand new 400 engine factory supplied and fitted engine by Maranello Concessionaires Ltd-Russ Reeves and his "boy" Paul Saunders were the mechanics.
    Apparently GTC/4's seemed to suffer from porous cylinder heads in their day. Certainly the last three GTC/4's I have had for sale ,have had the engine changed for a 365 GT4 2+2,a new block and heads or as with this car a 400 engine. I also know of another which had a new block and heads. So 4 of the 31 or ,13% of the UK supplied cars have engines replaced/rebuilt.

    Dino 246 GT s/n 02394 - reg PWJ106K

    This is a very early E-Series - the seventh UK-delivered car by chassis number - so originally it would have had the earlier style bumpers that wrap into the grille.

    The silver car looks to be my late father's Spyder conversion (16735). Presumably the photo was taken when it was part of the Pilkington collection?

    The last two pictures are of my late father's old 250SWB 3605GT and 330GTC (I don't know the chassis number) at the Ferrari Spa racing days in 2000 I think. In retrospect a very significant trip for me as on the return journey I drove the 330 for some of the trip. The first time I drove a Ferrari on a public road.

    Good trip that. I too think it was in 2000. The 330 GTC is #11381.

    Nine years later #5521 at Goodwood for the Modena Engineering track day. Probably June or July.

    Photo's 1, 2, 6, 7, 10 and 19 are from Silverstone, and 1998 could be right. I have a few more, so if that is of interest.....
