    So what does an authentic Cheney clamp look like? I've been throwing hose clamps in a box for 30 years and might have a few. Are they marked "cheney"?

    I believe they are an English company, Jaguars and Rolls Royce use Cheney but I don't think they are the same clamps used on early Ferraris. At on point they were selling for $100 each.

    Thank you. The color, "amaranto roma", is what you see on the dash in the auction pictures. I'm going to write it off as deceased. If anyone knows otherwise, please let me know. Thanks.

    Well, I’m happy to report that a 250 PF just earned a Platino at tonight’s 2023 FCA Annual Experience Awards Gala.

    I’m even happier to report that the 2024 FCA AE is specifically highlighting Enzo Era cars as their focus. Praise be!

    Was amazing to watch it be judged and then ultimately get the acclaim it deserved. Thank you for helping to contextualize it.

    Hi John, while on Pf Coupe batteries, have you ever figured out WHY was the battery moved to the front corner of the engine compartment in late m/58 cars like yours? It was then moved back to the old place for 1959.

    Cheers, Kare

    Various build sheets show Pirelli Cinturato, Dunlop, and Continental. No Stella Bianca that in the build sheets that I have. Also doesn't matter if 16" or 400mm rims as no consistency by brand.

    No brand mentioned, 5
    Pirelli Cinturato, 6
    Dunlop, 4
    Continental, 6

    Kare, it's a mystery to me as well. Mine is in the front and I can tell you that, because of the battery frame, removing/reinstalling the one-piece exhaust manifold can make a grown man cry like a baby.
