    The original Stabilimenti Farina body was much more interesting than yet another Touring replica.

    Once again it would be fun to know who built the body, but I guess we'll never know. Who would want such "credit"...?

    Best wishes, Kare

    As far as I know, it used to have engine 059/S, which was traded for engine 083/S. It used, however, an unknown 250GT-engine and later it appeared to use an unknown 212-engine. This seems NOT to be 083/S which appeared to be with Italparts (as en "engine only") quite recently. Best wishes, Kare

    The chassis, engine, gearbox, rear axle , diff., suspension and steering box are original parts. We delivered just all the parts for a complete motor rebuild, from crankshaft bearings to carb. gasket sets, just everything. The car is a good driver and was driven in a hillclimb in the Alpes recently and here in the Eifel mountains.

    And where is the Farina original body today? Destoyed or stored somewhere?

    Reportedly sold in pieces to Donald K. Nelson in late 60's, who planned to install on GT/E-chassis, but later scrapped.

    I have seen Rafael's cars and they are indeed in prime condition! The GTC in particular is beautiful, if I didn't already have one I would probably have tried to include it in my stable.

    Cheers,

    Hello Hein,

    Do you know where the replica 166 SC body is now?


    The original Stabilimenti Farina one-off body was indeed owned by Don K. Nelson in England. In a Supercar Classics issue of the late eighties there was a picture of it in his back garden looking in a sad state.

    I do not know where the replica body is, but I can find it out. Some parts of the original Pininfarina body still exist at one of our customers in England.

    Not PININFARINA, but FARINA... Not the same company. Giovanni FARINA was the brother of Battista "Pinin" FARINA.

    Interesting. Thanks.
    This "berlinetta" bodywork bodywork has nothing to do with 0063 but comes from the ex Peter Monteverdi's infamous "750 GT", 0486M.

    Sorry, I was talking of the red bodywork above. The white (...) one underneath could come from 0063.

    Sorry for the low quality scan but I couldn't get it any better. The photographers at the time used heavy filters which darkened the tone a lot. It looks a lot like a faded white or grey. The caption says:

    "In garden are Monza modified for De Tomaso and '52 Paris Show car."

    So yes, that car/body in the background is s/n 0063.

    We had that Monza body for a while.
    Don sold/gave it to Robert Wilson, I bought it from him and sold it again in the early 90's.
    It weighed a ton (all steel and gullwing doors)!

    Wow, that is too cool. Someone should reunite the original body with the chassis and restore it.

    The problem is that once one of these beautiful early cars has been turned from a street car into a race car, it's very hard and very expensive to bring them back. The same kind of thing has happened with a lot of pre-war Alfas.
