It is always interesting to see what kind of repairs are required/executed when cars with hard life get certified by Classiche. My opinion is they should stick to technical aspects of the cars as that is what is clearly defined in the documentation they have, but easy money likely is too good as people believe in the brand (it is a religion).

From the archives (1960 Monza yearbook): fellow Fchatter @Fritz d'Orey (and former GP racer) spinning his Aluminium-bodied 250 TDF 0787GT after hitting another 250 TDF at the 1959 GP della Lotteria di Monza on June 28, 1959. Fritz would recover from the spin and finish the race in 7th position. Image Unavailable, Please Login

Bert: The first pic is 0425GT, a PF Speciale (and, in my view the prototype of the TdF). The second is 0515GT. Both my children.
Gorgeous drive for about an hour yesterday in #0895gt. Accidentally left the Florence license plate on, last road legal in 1960. Lol. Lucky I didn’t get stopped. Image Unavailable, Please Login
