Still making them in my shed ... great discovery will be announced soon But thanks for telling me what numbers I should stamp on the chassis' ... Pete
Pete, given enough "forensic analysis", I'm sure that you can turn any old kangeroo bone into a long lost classic!
Now, now Horsey ... you know as well as I do that I won't need any "forensic analysis" 'cause the chassis numbers will be nice and clear. Think about that one for a while ... for those that think chassis numbers are everything Pete
Okay, fellas, thanks for taking the thread off in a new direction. The question remains. Does anyone know the current whereabouts of chassis numbers 0061S, 0127E or 0162ED?
Haven't have enough time to sort out 225 Sports, but 0162/ED may have been scrapped after a fire. What comes to 061/S and 0127/E, one of them must be 1 of 2 Vignale "thin pillar"-coupes built, the other one being 065/S. Best wishes, Kare
Please Kare, Can you give more information about the 2 "thin-pillar" coupes and what car became 065S, I've never see anything about this. It's very interesting !!! Gilles
Google gave me this link (http://www.barchetta.cc/english/All.Ferraris/Detail/0162ED.225S.htm) for 0162ED. Sorry if this is redundant information, but it appears the timeline stops in August 1952.
Yes, 0127/E had the thin C-pillar like 065/S. It also had very unique decorative trim along the sides that incorporated the front turn signals. Any idea where this car is today?
I doubt this very much as I have never seen anything to support the claim. It would also mean that two very special and almost identical cars would have been built one year apart (Yes, I suspect the other on instead of being 0127/E is 061/S). For a while I suspected that we are talking about one and the same car here, but it seems not to be the case: the trunk lids are clearly different. Best wishes, Kare
