I'm happy to take MiuraSV's final learned assessment that the chassis has been "knocked up" post works. That's it. Final end of story thank you very much job done job jobbed. JG had a go and I salute him for kicking the can down the road but the brutal reality is the car is a facsimile.
No, I meant I'd have kept it because it had history here in Brazil. Anyway, nothing to do with 0846 so sorry for derailing the thread.
Seeing Rob Lay's post on the link here, it seems that Amelia Island are now accepting proven replicas. How can this be? Don't the new people in charge check the provenance of cars before inviting them? What will their future direction be?
what to see next at Amelia Island, a Nissan 240Z “250GTO”? You can not sell a Ferrari without Classiche Certificate at RM “Ferrari” Auctions but they allow this P4 replica at Canossa events . What a joke!
It’s not fake news either. A friend sent me this yesterday. JG is bragging about it (because of course it helps legitimize his replica - who’d believe fakes are allowed at Amelia?!). Image Unavailable, Please Login
Get it straight, Hagerty and Motorsport nothing alike. Hagerty a public company 10x larger all about fancy marketing and high insurance rates. You can fault Motorsport for being a conglomerate company, but it is still pure enthusiast operated and focused (much of it Ferrari) FerrariChat, Canossa, Cavallino, DuPont, AutoSport, Motorsport, Motor1, F1 Tickets, Motorsport Games... the point being nothing alike and that's a really good thing.
Spot on. Except I would argue in the case of Mr. Glickenhaus, the issue is ego, not money. He is obsessed with being right, regardless of any evidence presented to the contrary, and regardless of the common sense view that Mr. David Piper, who knows more about these cars than anyone in the world, would have screwed up and sold a real 330 chassis to Mr. Glickenhaus instead of a replica frame Mr. Piper BUILT himself.

Just because you like the guy, this doesn’t mean Mr. Glickenhaus is correct in claiming his car is 0846. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
Because it is not true. Mr. Glickenhaus has had plenty of opportunities to refute the evidence presented here on FerrariChat, but has not chosen to do so. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
I would beg to differ. Not that there’s anything wrong with it, but from my vintage car enthusiast, restoration proprietor and a client of both, H & M (coincidental pun intended), point of view, they both actually appear very much or perhaps even exactly alike. Maybe not in their overall asset holdings or revenue levels, but with very much the same/similar business goals and if considering recent event acquisitions, etc, both have essentially become direct “competitors” of each other in the same “field”, if you will. So, dissing H endeavors or choice of vehicles accepted to their events (while seemingly defending corporate organized events) could be perceived as somewhat biased, maybe even petty "tow-the-corporate-line" mentality by someone way back in the peanut gallery and perhaps more so since the H is not an affiliate or sponsor of the pulpit used for said “dissing”. Just saying...
