    Bill Pollard's SportAuto in Gaylordsville, CT and Francois Sicard's shop in Ridgefield, CT are two of the best for vintage Ferraris in the area.

    I have my 1983 400i serviced at Vantage Motors in Stamford, CT and, even though they are not exclusively a Ferrari shop, they always seem to have a few there. They are not as well known as the other two but they do a very good job IMO.

    For Vintage Ferrari?

    Talk to Tom Yang and François Sicard. François takes care of Dave Letterman's collection.

    I don't think you can get more honest, straightforward, competent and reasonably priced.

    +1. Always some interesting vintage stuff there (I've seen Dinos, 275GTBs, 330GTC, a Lusso, boxer, etc being worked on at the same time as my car in the few years I've been using him)....great work/price/honesty/feeling having him work on the car (I have a 360- he does the modern stuff as well :) ...) Very meticulus, and a great guy to boot! Factory trained as well...

    I think Joe is Vinny's brother- I've seen him there on the Saturdays when I typically drop off/pick up my car (Saturday's are great by the way - more laid back day and customers/friends hang out there- if you're doing a lot of work on a vintage car you'd be able to watch it progress weekly (or daily) if you like !)
