The Holey Daytona

E.G. AutoKraft disappeared many years ago. IIRC after converting seven Daytonas into Spyders and making a few Boxer Targa conversions (there's one of those for sale in the UK at the moment), they moved into making full on Daytona replicas based on Jaguars. As with most businesses making replica Ferraris they didn't last very long.

Grant, thank you...and thank you also for being so kind as to send me your spare Spyder door molding,you car turned out Beautifully !

^ never liked the oversized borranis....

 

With the "big" motor a necessity , I think 8's all around look best

 

Thanks Grant , 4-5 hours by hand on each wheel off the car...and that is when they are reasonable clean to start! All as you probably already know..do you have any special ways you clean your wheels? And what size do you have on your car?pic? ,Chuck

 

I have 9 inch on the back and 8 inch on the front. I also have the 7.5 inch which came originally, but I like the stance with the bigger wheels. And it has been said that the RW 8301 ( 8 inch ) rub on the front wheel well. I have not had that problem.

 

Nice pic of your car on this link Grant (click on picture for hi res).

8's on my car also, no problem rubbing , but I think if I did not have the 9's on the rear I would get a lot of wheel spin( still have to be careful in 1st it will lite up the rears even with 9's,Chuck

 

Grant thanks for posting that,your beautiful car fits right in with the Lusso and SWB ., I must say your car has an air of a car that is well loved by it's owner. Hope I get to see it sone day,Chuck

 

Grant looks stunning. Regarding the V12 group I believe I now qualify as I now have two 😀

 

Very sad to hear that you are selling your car. It's probably the best conversion I've seen so far. Whoever buys it will be a very lucky guy.

 

That's a shame Grant, although in some ways you've kept it longer than I expected and great that you have enjoyed it as long as you have.

Grant, it is sad that the market has pushed you to sell the Daytona. I have enjoyed watching your restoration and adventures over the years. Good luck with the sell, I hope you get top dollar and can use the proceeds for to make family adventures and memories.

 

I just have to join and say, good luck with the sale.

But like some other long time V12 owners have done before you, I am sad the values are enticing you to part with it.
OTOH, it's not much fun driving and worrying all the time!

Of course you can get a modern V12, and continue, on for a fraction of what this wil bring!!!

Good luck and THANKS for the wonderful resto thread, and kudos also to your shop, those guys were Top Shelf!!!

Good luck with the sale Grant.
