... two of the three subjects at the time this picture was taken wore (and still do) their original colors and with exception of couple small touch-ups, one even wears original layers applied at Scagliettis. Third is currently under going reconstructive and cosmetic surgeries to be brought back in her original color glory. Image Unavailable, Please Login

one of only 33 RHD cars, which won 3rd in class at Salon Prive, having just had a 2.5 year restoration at Barkaways Ferrari.
2.5 years of restoration is not a plus, in my view, nor a standard for any restauration, except may be a one off pre war car that would need a lot of research and everything made by hand, in particular the wooden structure. Except starting with a wreck, cars need between maximum 1500 hours to 2000 hours to get to PB standard, most of cars between 1000 to 1200 to get to the so called concours level. Usually this can be achieved including full bare metal respray and metal work plus engine rebuild plus interior in one year. Anything over that not only increases the waiting time, but also likely cost overrun. Of course it implies that restoration shop is fully familiar with the model and knows where to source all components that are needed and that decisions in particular from owner are taken timely. Would be interested to have others experience in full restoration timeframe.
well if you can find the bits that were needed off the shelf then it probably would have taken a lot less time!..fyg having personally called as many old Ferrari repair shops in the US, Canada, Australia, Holland and finally after 18 months the gearbox 1st/2nd gear selector was found, It took a month of easing oil, heating cooling, to remove one of the heads off the engine, also its better once the paint is applied to let it settle for a couple of months..and yes the restorer knows what they are doing, as they have won best in class, best in show at salon prive, best in class at Villa d'este..etc etc, and Barkaways are probably the best restoration shop for Ferrari's in the UK...could it have been completed quicker? possibly but it was a real experience going down once a month seeing what had been billed for and taking photos, and I have even written a book about the restoration!
