Well if you’re in the market give me a call BTW I just did a search and I see it’s still registered on its old UK plates

Mine before I switched the tail lights around. Belgium market car that lived in France before coming here, still has the yellow headlights, yellow fogs and Belgium rear fog. Image Unavailable, Please Login

No, I just "direct" and manage it It is being done at a small shop with no previous experience in Ferraris. Sent from my MAR-LX1M using Tapatalk
I have basically coordinated, directed and managed a complete mechanical restoration (with exclusion of the "bottom end") and have gained a vast amount of knowledge. Feel free to ask me should you need any guidance.
Front is next. Same treatment as the rear; zinc plating, new bushing, brake pads, hose and discs. Image Unavailable, Please Login Sent from my MAR-LX1M using Tapatalk
In two weeks the tour the France will reclaim my playing ground, but for now the ski slopes have been "mine" so to say... Quite happy with the improved cooling of the car. Unfortunately my new fancy switch pitch converter does not switch, which is a pity as in these tight roads 1800 stall is barely enough! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login My only reservation about getting a 400 was that it wasn't particularly well-suited to the narrow, bumpy (but otherwise very beautiful) roads around where I live. Now that I've bought this wonderful thing, I've realised that all I need to do is - move somewhere else!
That looks superb. A few years ago, I looked at a red 400i in the UK that the owner had originally tried to order in yellow, but the correspondence with the factory (still with the car 35 years later) suggested that they wouldn't supply one in yellow. Even though it was an option on other models. One way or another, he had it done, and there was subsequent correspondence between the original owner's kids and a later owner, recalling that they nicknamed it "The Flying Banana."
You’ll get used to it, and by modern standards, it’s not too wide. The roads here in Dorset are often bumpy and narrow, and the 400i copes okay. Enjoy!
This car left the factory with the regular "blue azuro", then converted to rosso corsa, until the owner decided to have both his GTO and his 400i repainted Gialo Fly. I already had another coat of yellow applied in the early 2010. During the last repaint the paint was quite damaged, so I was considering gold for the next livery, but will probably stick to yellow again Rims will revert back to monochrome though.
Car getting detailed.

The positioning of the extra indicators on this car is much better than on some other US-converted ones I’ve seen (my own car included). Well done to whoever did that.

Looks fab. And great to see another actually out-and-about. There can’t be many of us left in the UK that actually use our 400’s.
