Here's another one - this time a mint kit, ending in just over 3 hours time. Bidding currently at $596.01 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330300115910 The last one I referred to went for $575.00, so at least vintage slot cars are holding their prices !

I'm preparing a blog on #0834 and I wonder if someone could help me put the record straight on the history of #0834 and #018 at Targa Florio in 1970 and 1971. The online records at Barchetta and racingsportscars.com show several different possibilities, Barchetta shows the 1970 #64 entry as being #0834 on this link:- http://www.barchetta.cc/english/All.Ferraris/Detail/0834.166P.htm with chassis #018 being the #64 entry in 1970 and #26 entry in 1971 on this link :- http://www.barchetta.cc/english/All.Ferraris/Detail/Dino/018.206S.htm while racingsportscars.com shows #018 as being the #64 entry in 1970 and the #26 entry in 1971 on this link :- http://www.racingsportscars.com/chassis/archive/206S-018.html Relevant answers maybe used and credited in a forthcoming blog. Thanking you in anticipation of your answers.
Photo of #0834 at the 1967 Targa Florio. At this point it still has its 166P lower body but has a new roof and flared rear end. It also has a cut line just behind the side scoop and is running Firestone tires on wider 166P/F1 wheels. This was a semi works entry with a speciale works 206 motor. At some point the car must have been completely rebodied to a later style 206 Dino body as the restored car is all 206(or they did a chassis plate swap at the factory in August/September 1967).

Many thanks to all contributors to this thread: it has helped me enormously to fill gaps in the history of my Dino. For those interested in taking a look at her: 0834 will be at the BSWR in December as well as at Cavallino and Amelia beginning of next year. Thanks again.
Thanks...I wish it still looked like it's 1965-1967 form(roof was removed but below that it pretty much stayed the same until late 1967 when something of a mystery happened). The body is completely different now. Here is a better front shot from Targa Florio 1967 and during testing shots at Monza in 1965: Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Looking at the present pictures you can see maybe what is left of the original body. The look #0834 has now is peculiar compared to most other 206's. I wonder at what point the body was modified to look more like a 206S and by whom. Does anyone have any factory photos of #0834 being modified with this new body?? After the 1967 Targo Florio #0834 did go back to the factory and was still owned by SEFAC at the time.
Hi Boudewijn, Thanks for the link but that's not what I was looking for. I am talking about when the body was transformed into a 1966 206S style body. That is still the #0834 166P lower body with a 206 hillclimb motor.
This is 0834 with 1966 body being tested by Bandini and De Adamich at Monza/Modena in March. © unknown Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
The one on the left is a 1966 body, I think chassis #0842 testing before Sebring 1966, and the one on the right is the 166P lower body #0834 being tested in late 1966 at Modena(Marcel Massini posted a page back). The body change happened after September/October 1967.
