NASCAR body template. Jim might get point docked during the chase for unauthorized body modifications!
Great to see the car on Italian soil Jim ! Banner in the background leads me to believe it's Brandoli's workshop , am I right ?
Hi Yes Sal is working with Sport Auto who is overseeing the project and they are working with Brandoli and Ferrari Classiche. Best and Thanks to All
Fantastic. Preservation rules. That said, is the current body a period/older replacement? IIRC, it's had at least one other body. I've done a quick search and can't find details. Regardless, it's wonderful to see an important car being made historically correct.
The current body was made under the direction of Stan Nowack in the 60ies when he removed the Motto body. It was pretty good but we want to make it better.
Do you have pictures of how the car is going to look? What made you want to return it to how it originally was?
12/10/1947 GP de Turin Raymond Sommer 159 SC "02C" n° 78 1er http://brunodaytona67.canalblog.com/albums/les_ferrari/photos/7008135-1947_159_sc.html
This was the car in the early nineties, when it came fresh from restoration by Piet Roelofs in the Netherlands. Shot was taken at Zandvoort during the "Italia a Zandvoort" event on July 4th 1993. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Yes that's what we're going for as that's how she originally was. Jeff the original body is long gone. Best
Mr. G., Could you not use Collier's 015C, which retains it's original bodywork, as a buck for a replacement? Or were the two cars always sufficiently dissamilar for this not to be viable? Thanks.
Jim, if you will post the pictures you have I can compare them to what I have of the car at Turin as well as when acquired by the Bessana bros.It looks like the car was the same when Gabriel took it to Argentina where it rarely was actually raced and then returned to Italy. I have a number of pictures which might be of help including before and after the 8 and 9 bar grill change. just one man's opinion tongascrew
