Hi Friends I just purchased 0839gt . I am beyond thrilled! How do I reach Massini? He prepared a report on the car and I would like to share that I’m the new owner so he can update his records. The car community never fails to amaze. I purchased it from a fellow half way across the country who I had never met. He could not be more generous with his time and careful follow up with each and every detail. And, he added a few extra goodies as icing on the cake. Once I have my hands on it I hope to bring it to a Northern California Ferrari guru to get it all sorted out and ready to drive. Best Adam
I’ll have fresh photos once the car is in my eager hands, and is sorted, safe and roadworthy. It was well used and loved but the last few years has not been out on many play dates.. This will soon be remedied.
Adam, first, congratulations. You just got an all-time beautiful and rare Ferrari. Secondly, Ed Montini here (enio45), is the yogi and guiding light of anything Elena. Talk to him first before you follow anyone else's advice about the car. john

Thank you! I’m a happy newbie and am looking forward to meeting “the guy” as there is always one for every car.
Perfect thank you. I will be driving rather than restoring mine. No offense to the straw hat and pleated khaki set, but my pebble days (lamborghini miura roadster) are behind me and I now enjoy frequently driving cars that have as much patina and miles on them as I do…
You're not too far from me! I have '56 Boano 0571 GT and am near Alice's Restaurant, south of SF. Congratulations on your Elena!
Hi friends… Here is an image before the car was trailered off to the shop for mechanical restoration. Ed has become my spiritual advisor on all things Ellena, and Patrick Ottis has begun making the car reliably roadworthy. You may notice a small breakfast club rally sticker in the rear window. Its placement alongside decals from completed events from China to California is a nod towards the future.. I’ll share updates as we progress…
Drat! Sorry I missed you. Ed and Patrick are the best as everyone will attest. Look forward to catching up with you soon! RF.
