    There might be important additions to the history of this car as described in RM's catalogue for their 13-15 August Monterey auction. I would like to discuss it with the owner.

    Tom, caught you on "Chasing Classic Cars" last night driving your 375 MM. Wicked sounding car! Any chance it will be shown at Cavallino in the near future?

    Did you also think about buying the 166MM that has the correct engine for the
    225? I think the reserve was pretty low for the first small grilled Ferrari
    ever!

    At last! So you reckon 0202 was a Vignale coupé. Aren’t you planning to graft the Vignale body of that 225 on the 340? It is roughly similar.
    May I now suggest the following:
    - Get the engine 0168 with 0308 (0050) and recreate 0168 with its original engine and bodywork, which was a Vignale spider.
    - With 0308 (0050) it will be possible to recreate both the Touring barchetta 0050 and the delightful “two oval portoles” Vignale coupé 0308.
    All this will make of you a valued customer at Ferrari Classiche (and incidentally create an opportunity for an updated version of “Ferrari by Vignale” book).
    With my best regards to the owner.

    Tom R,
    "With 0308 (0050) it will be possible to recreate both the Touring barchetta 0050 and the delightful “two oval portoles” Vignale coupé 0308. "

    Maybe I'm missing something here.. This Touring barchetta 0050 you refer to..

    You do know that 0050(0328)M is alive and well, completely original since leaving the factory (including its original Touring barchetta body), in the care of its long-term owner of 35 years or so, and was on display at Pebble Beach in the 166MM display this year?

    What Touring barchetta do you speak of?

    I apologize in advance if the tone of my question comes across in the wrong way. I'm simply trying to follow the threads of the cars you mentioned and am a little confused. Apologies as well to Tom S for going slightly OT.

    Best,
    Dave
