Hard to imagine that a real MM car would have one carb!

 

Price?

Is the current engine an inside plug 250 like the PF Coupes (early ones) had ... it looks too modern to be a 166 engine ???

Engine was restored in 1998.

Shouldn't a 166's engine look more like Napolis' early Ferrari?, ie: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showpost.php?p=135516142&postcount=1

Those cam covers look very modern, but based on your drawing they are right ... surprised.

Marcel's comments from another string:

See also many photos on pages 64/65 of my book "Ferrari by Vignale". 0036 M was later (after Cupellini) owned by Paolo Dabbeni in Italy. Today it belongs to Damiano Amoruso in southern Italy (Bari region). He had it rebodied back into original Touring Barchetta configuration by Dino Cognolato of Vicenza. Amoruso also still has the Vignale Coupé body. Both are for sale, the car 0036 M with the new Touring Barchetta body and the Vignale Coupé formerly on 0036 M. The rebodied Barchetta 0036 M was at the Coys auction in Monaco last Saturday 20th May 2006 but didn't sell. Highest bid was Euro € 1.3 M. I've personally inspected the car in all details.

Here is what appears to be a picture of it when it had the Vignale coupe body:

looks new, beautiful also. Well, near the 0052M i will prefer the second one, probably because it s original.

 

amasing, it s just marvellous today to see a car in this state, it s rare and beautiful at the same time. The 0052M is my sugar baby love.
Thanks for pics, Do you know where the pics was took?

 

That is at the Palo Alto Concours

I am mystified that someone would take a mexico and change it to this.

Wouldn't a correct mexico be much more valuable?

Tom W

 

If we are talking about the 166 MM then this car WAS originally a 166 Barchetta and has period Mille Miglia history as such (and other races).

It has no significant history as the Vignale Berlinetta. It was never a correct Mexico, or even a correct Vignale Berlinetta but a period rebody.
Pete

 

Technically speaking the coupe body is not original, but a valid and period rebody. I can understand the restoring to original and more interesting state in this case.

Simply use the car and patina returns ... yep it does, really
Pete

 

Oh, so the barchetta was what it was originally?

That makes sense then.

Thanks for the clarification.

Tom W

 

I have never had trouble aquiring patina.

I can see the complication though with this car though as a 1953 body has been removed which sat on that chassis for over 50 years ... now that does seem a shame.

Hmmm ...
Pete

 

Yeah, it seems a little arbitrary.

But I suspect that the vignale body might have been in rough shape and for about the same cost as repairing it the barchetta was re-created.

Still I probably would not have done it.
