Cavallino: Truth Verses Personal Agenda

For many years it's been public record that I have pointed out several things that Cavallino has and continues to publish that are simply not true.

My letter to them, that they refused to publish, corrected their erroneous publication that P3's and P4's have the same wheel base. (An important point in the 0846 debate.) There is NO question that P3 wheelbases were 2412mm and P4 wheelbases are 2400mm.

My Public correction of their Price Guide that continues to publish information about the current value of P3's even though no P3 was ever sold nor could one be as no P3's currently exist. (Their statement in their price guide: "0844 to 350 Can AM back to 330 P3"
is also wrong. 0844 was converted by NART to a 330 Can AM (Totally different from a 350 Can Am and back by Symbolic to a 412P which is different than a P3) Keep in mind that their cover proudly proclaims: "The Journal Of Ferrari History".

When 0846 was at Quail a Ferrari Historian who attended the event accurately reported that fact listing me as her owner and submitted the list of all Ferrari's that attended Quail that year and without informing him or asking his permission to edit his reporting Cavallino omitted mention of my car having attended. "Journal Of Ferrari History".

Cavallino's revisionist history continues in their latest issue in an article on Special Project 2.

The article discusses the History of "speciales" and describes various groups there of.

Two of the groups they mention are relevant to this thread:

"Pininfarina prototypes built with Ferrari components ... "built to develop new series types or just research specific problems;"

"Special cars requested by customers that Ferrari with [the] contribution of Pininfarina agrees to produce..."

In the group of Pininfarina Protypes they mention the 250 GTO Prototype, 250 P5, P6, 512S
Speciale,Modulo, Cr25, Pinn,Mythos, and Rossa.

They don't mention Dino Competizione, which is owned by me. It's as if the car simply doesn't exist.

In the group "Special cars" "done with the approval of Ferrari itself" They mention many cars including 612 Kappa but not P 4/5.

It is pure fact, that has long been public record, fully reported by reputable press,that both Kappa and P 4/5 were done under the exact same program at Pininfarina, Both were built and engineered by Pininfarina, not Ferrari, and Both were accepted by Ferrari as official Ferrari's.

 

Respect from those who don't deserve it is worthless.

"So don't be afraid of your enemies. Everything that is secret will be brought out into the open. Everything that is hidden will be uncovered. What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight. What is whispered in your ear, shout from the rooftops."

 

Cavallino's actions speak for themselves.

They're members of FCHAT and are welcome to point out why this thread is not correct if they can and explain why they've acted the way they have to me and my cars.

I've offered them this opportunity many times. Years ago JB posted that P 4/5 wasn't an official Ferrari and that he had this from: "The Horses Mouth". I replied that Luca himself had decided that P 4/5 was an official Ferrari and agreed with Andrea Pininfarina and I that it's official name would be "Ferrari P 4/5 by Pininfarina". I challanged him to name "The Horses Mouth" he cited and to publically refute my statement. He never replied.

Cavallino's recent article which reads as if Dino Competizione and P 4/5 don't exist in an article specifically about Pininfarina designed Prototypes and "Special Projects" is absurd.

The reason I feel it's personal is that every other Pininfarina Prototype and Special Project including Kappa is.

 

Take the list of Ferraris at Quail. The Highly Respected Ferrari Historian who included 0846
in the list he submitted to Cavallino and was credited by Cavallino with having compiled it told me that it was absolutely Cavallino who omitted 0846 from his list without his knowledge or consent not him.

Take the letter I sent to Cavallino which clearly pointed out the indisputable Truth verified by Ferrari Factory Records/Built sheets and physical duplicatable measurement which is the essence of "Journal" Discussion and was an important part of the 0846 debate. Certainly JB was the one who decided not to publish it.

 

Hi

You'll read the Article for yourself but I think it's quite clear from the Article that Dino Competizione should be included:

"1) the Ferrari prototypes built to develop new series types or just research specific problems; 2) Pininfarina prototypes built with Ferrari Components for the same reasons as before;"

As for "ruffled feathers" long ago I realised that some people are their own punishment.

Best
