    No problem John.

    Further investigations have thrown up the a second invoice between MC and IMS Ltd regarding the perspex headlight covers, the invoice to Sir William, and the receipt referencing the warranty claim.

    I'll try and scan these and the others over the weekend.

    Thankyou, Christian, that's very kind of you.

    It would be interesting to hear something of the history of your father's dealership, too.

    It was a short period - 1971 to 1975, and I was very young at the time!

    I'm sure others will have a far better knowledge and understanding of the period and the workings of Ferrari and Maranello Concessionaires. My memories are of the cars (looking back, what a remarkable childhood), and the many friends made at the time.

    I have pulled together a pdf with the cars sold over the period. It would probably make sense to create a separate thread for it and give a brief background to what I know of the history of the dealership/distributor.

    Hi Marcel,

    I've had #2966 since 1984. Do you have a record for that one?

    Yes I do.
    Please first post photos showing chassis number, chassis tag, body number (trunk lid hinge), engine number, gearbox number.

    Is it still Rosso Bordeaux 20-R-351?

    Here's 1712's bulkhead when I removed the Nero vinyl a few years ago. Also the expansion tank bracket.

    Hm, it would be funny if a picture from the dash underneath could show that you have the one which was dedicated for my car.
    I´m sure that some parts were mixed during assembly.

    When I restored my L-series, the number under the dash was off by one compared to all others on the car. Close enough!

    I'm guessing that dashboard piece is not readily visible with the car put together, correct?

    Wow, this is quite worrying! Extremely lucky to have this community to lean on. I was literally about to transfer funds on this car. Will ask for an explanation. Thanks a lot for bringing this to light.

    I'll go over the ten pages again later. It seems that the main problem is with this chassis plate. Other members of the forum are likely to comment.

    Thanks a lot. From what I read, seems there was no real resolution on this. I'll also fill in the community over here on what I hear back on this car to help clarify things, whether I end up buying or passing. It's only fair to whoever ends up owning this thing.

    OK, take number 2 here! I walked away from 01208 for all the ambiguity surrounding this car and have purchased #01148. Fingers crossed folks! If anyone knows anything about this car, I'd love to know it. Thanks a lot everyone and I look forward to finally owning a Dino.
