In Oz?

 

OS going up for auction in Switzerland RM auctions.

 

I love 8V's and the many beautiful bodies they wore. This isn't the best, I think the C pillar is poorly resolved.

It's not hard to see why they failed commercially, with only 114 made. They were expensive and not as fast as they looked. Nevertheless some aspects of the engine made their way into the 1953 Ford Y block and Chev small block. The 8V's 4 barrel Webers came from the Ferrari 375 cars.

The 1951 Lancia B20 V6 (whose engine FIAT somewhat copied) made more power from the same 2 litre capacity and was more advanced and better handling with its rear transaxle.

The story of the restoration of the above car is here:

Wes is coming over to sign my Enzo painting later today ...... signature will be either Tazio or Enzo, both have given their approval

 

Good to hear,have they in turn asked for Wes's?

 

Yes. Chinese concrete wears well.

 

Done the job ,its 10k car .

 

I don't think the truck that pulls out in front of you cares whether it's a $10K car or not.

 

Have you driven with them?

On the norm I buy Avons and Michelins, these were on the car when purchased and they have been fine on a number of occasions I've needed to call on them.

Oh, wait your the "guy " who put Pirelli on a S/S and not Avons .. I win.

Simon and Lowball will also explain to you the pros of buying Chinah tires .

 

Yep, the only reason they’re a bought is that they are cheap. THE END

 

You just don't get it ...do you.

 

No, I do. You guys need to acknowledge that you’re cheap

 

Robert, Klink and Dr Lowball, the Chinah Trio.
