    I’m a freelance motoring writer contributing to an MSN Cars channel called Car Connections, which includes ownership stories. I’ve been asked to find an Italian owner of a Ferrari, ideally based in Italy, for a short article. Examples of the sort of thing I’ve previously written can be found at:

    A VW love affair

    Ferrari Daytona

    Iconic Cars: Lancia Delta HF Integrale

    I'm usually asked to find a specific make and model for these stories but this time they've just asked me to find a classic Ferrari, which means anything up to 1990 or thereabouts.

    As I've already done an article on a Daytona owner I guess doing another piece on the same model wouldn't go down too well, but any other model is fine - the older the better. Even better if you've got a great story to go with it - a rebuild, great road trip, you've owned it for decades, that sort of thing.

    To put this together I'd need to have a telephone conversation during the day or evening to suit you, and I would also need one or two pictures of you and/or your car, but they don’t need to be professionally taken - just snaps are fine.

    If you think you can help please drop me a line, either via Ferrari Chat or my email which is [email protected]

    Many thanks,

    Richard

    If you that doesn't work out, I can volunteer as a Lebanese Ferrari owner living in Canada (348) :D

    Great - many thanks for that. Sometimes I'm spoiled for choice with these pleas and other times I get no response at all. I'll see what my options are after the weekend and take it from there. Have a great weekend all!

    There are fewer Italians than you might expect on Fchat though one of the most important of them all, Marcel Massini, is a member, and you could PM him.

    There is a very knowledgeable Italian owner of a 575 HGTC who is also an engineer, Fabio, who has taken a break from the board but is on fabio.**********@gmail.com

    Great guy, he may help.

    That's quite Soviet censorship.

    Send me an email on [email protected] and I'll send you his details.

    Thanks both for your help - I've emailed Gian Marco in the hope that he'll be prepared to help. I think the 575 might be a bit new for this piece - lovely car admittedly, but if I can get something older I think it would be preferable. I'll see if Gian gets back to me and take it from there...

    All the best,

    Richard

    Tell him that I expect a discount on the 208 Turbo for the referral!
