    The aluminium 206 motor is a honey, 246 has more tourque but lacks the snappy throttle response and is a heavy lump with its iron block.

    This might be interesting to keep an eye on. Certainly not a project for the faint-hearted!

    Huge job, hope they got it for $50K or less. :D

    Great to see they are going to fix it but and not just wreck it for parts.

    I just don’t see how this is a worthwhile activity at all unless the idea is to create a YouTube following

    It will always be ****ed

    That's what I am thinking, get some likes/subscribers and fix the car for himself as cheap as possible lol

    Because it will always be ****ed and a "stories" car and won't sell it for what he puts into it.

    Part by part, everything can be replaced and repaired mate.

    More than that, Pap. Yes it will be an awesome build! :)

    I love cars mate. Being an automotive engineer i also have a little idea how these are put together. Its not rocket science, but perhaps it might be for some people. I'm definitely not one them :)

    And once done, it'll be better than it was, that's for sure.


    You can't sell your first Ferrari, so that's not a problem for me! :p

    But i love car restorations, so im just sharing my passion.

    Far from being rooted, the car actually starts!

    I saw those.. More than a couple of nice ones, the showroom is overflowing with car p0rn at the moment.

    What's going on? Was there an event or are people dumping their toys in order to pay the rent?

    I've never seen so many cars at Barbs... They've even got a few MC20's and a bunch of Lambos in there.

    AaaH - No. The owners of those 2 cars do not have any financial issues :D

    I meant more broadly.. The showroom had a a bunch of late model used cars in there... 488's, 458's... More than I've ever seen in there. They even had to put some flow-overs into the Lambo showroom.

    Will do mate! Do you still have your 348?

    I used to be on here under account name "chewy7" when i was a kid, haha. I remember meeting @Horse/ @scud at a track day and taking photos of their ferraris many years ago!

    Is Scud / MHH / Horse / and 360C still around? Also remember meeting Moretti as well!

    100 Patcent. Good luck to you. It’ll be a great car when it’s finished.

    Hard to take too seriously a mob that reward a fake F40 with awards and don’t even know the difference between a 246GTS and GT.
