Mike who is restoring my Daytona sent me these photo's of a Dino he restored from a box of bits, I thought you might like to see them. One interesting thing he did tell me was that later UK cars had earlier chassis's as Ferrari had to use up the right hand drive chassis's they had first.

I know that car its mine and it is on the road as off today will be picking it up next week form dunsfold(Top gear track) only taken me 6 years to finish Stephen
Well done Steve, i new it was done for someone called Steve as the photos are named Steve's car. What are the chance's you picked the tread up within 5mins. or so! it's a small world. Grant
hi Grant It is a small world the quality of Mike,s work is superb I was so pleased with the work he's done youre be very happy with yours have you any pictures?
Just did a search on ferrarchat.com for your car have actually seen it at Mikes is it the spyder ,if so pic's dont do it justice I think your's might be the last car before Mike retires. It still amazes me what he does to these cars. Am going up there in a couple of weeks to see him, as he wants to see it mine finished perhaps we could meet up there? Regards Stephen
Glad to see you have been Miked too! I have just been reading your great thread on your restoration, it's all seems very similar to mine only Mike workshop was much tidier in 2005! My thread is called the Holey Daytona and is in the vintage section. http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=183467 I have just reached the paint shop stage after 2 years. A lot of the time was spent getting the chassis strengthened exactly the same as the original and as there are only 5 RHD ones left in the UK in was hard to get to see one. [ but we did manage it at the crucial time]. Soooo pleaseed with Mike. I think he was the best person possible for this job. Grant
Sure Stephen, i need to take Mike the hood cover soon. Send me a PM and we can tie something up. Grant
A true craftsman I even bet he worked on the other 5 has he showed you his picture albums its like a who's who I know hes kept original chassis tubing for another 2 cars or so, I still think he's got at least one more project in him before he retires. Am very impressed with youre car when are you hoping to drive it
I like the colour coded roof. Not seen many like that before, and the ones I have seen have been in red. It somehow seems to work better in silver.
