Christian, I cannot repeat in the two threads, if somebody is interested to know the progress of the 0117S restoration,they can go on this vintage thread : So.Ca 0117S a barn find by M.MASSINI 2006

What I can say, a 195 engine 083S ( year 1951 ) was bought to put into 0117S.
In few day , I 'll post somes pics of the very nice all alloy cover passenger who is finish.
The exhaust pipes are also rectified
The car is really superb and I love it.
So long.
Guy

Good luck with the gearbox search . I know a 166 one was advertised recently ... don't know if that is the correct type?, and also there was some discussion about that gearbox coming from a stolen car ...

Guy
please give autorisation for put them in Face book FCF.

 

Elle est superbe Guy, bravo
Il y a l'air d'avoir eu un sacrée boulot de fait depuis la dernière fois que je l'ai vue!

 

Merci Loïc,
Yes there is a hard work made on this car, to exterior who is obvious but also under the car who is less visible ; like you know I try to work in the period "spirit" and without speed.

 

no problem ,Christian,with pleasure.

 

Christian, glad to find you on the Ferrari chat USA, I would like to put for sale 0117S; in your opinion what would be the best way to make known this rare historical Ferrari of the origins (1951)?

Good evening Guy,
I was thinking some week ago with you and your car.
I will send you a message on your box (en haut à droite de votre écran).
Thank you Guy.

 

I have some concern that @smaartteen (new account) might not be the same person as @smartteen (original account) and I requested verification via private message. He has logged in but not yet replied to me. If verified as the same person, we can merge his accounts to avoid any future confusion.

If people know him personally/offline, please ask him to respond to my private message. It should not be an arduous or time-consuming question for the original member.

All the best,
Andrew.

 

Hi Andrew, I ask him to contact you via mail.

 

Thanks Christian!

All the best,
Andrew.

 

I think everything is OK, but waiting the confirmation.
Thanks Andrew, great Job

 

It was 210 + commission
Why it was a steal is simple to understand
The car was not in the catalogue but was in a folder who was written by Marcel Massini, even if the story was very well explain, many people didn t take the folder and on the block, they didn t knew what is was !
After outside, many people was around the car and was discussing the 121 LM body with Bill Noon and Elliott Grossman.
Paul had receive very good offer from collectors who now understand the car.
The price paid has nothings to do with the value as you can see with the great steal that Tom bought on Ebay !
Now, Paul is searching for any period Italian racing history and if found will make this Barchetta even more fantastic

 

Funny, is the same post word by word #58
