    Inspired by this thread http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=311060 and at the request of Francis (Giotto), please find below pictures of the 1969 London Motor Show car, chassis # 00496 as it was displayed at last years Ferrari Owners Club of Great Britain National Meet & Concours at Heythrop Park, Oxfordshire.
    The car had sat in a container on a golf course in Barbados for some 30 years before coming to the UK in July 2011.
    The car is currently undergoing a full restoration to concours standards at Foskers (http://www.foskers.com) in Kent, UK. (http://www.foskers.com/ferrari-restoration/11-1969-earls-court-motor-show-car)

    Thank you very much, Paul. Nice to see this old Dino restored and returning towards a new owner.

    Great to see this is being restored, and it appears surprisingly rust free given where it was stored all those years.

    I'm sure when the paint is removed, they will find a lot of rust.

    Let me change my description of "surprisingly rust free" to "surprisingly less rusty".
    I was expecting whole panels to be eaten away.

    Somebody's got some serious metal work to do if they want to undo the ridiculous chop-job sunroof.
