F102BB 44023 LM

Last of my old finds but certainly the loudest!!! LOVED being a part of the show for this car. Shook the whole building when it was started. Classiche requested these pics and descriptions of changes made prior to accepting it as a candidate for certification. While he had it, I do not remember if the owner pursued the cert after their replies. IIRC he was a bit miffed that other cars with similar modifications were slid through but he was instructed to be 100% original.

Pics are small from embedding into the old stupid template, but I'm proud of 'em nonetheless.

From the "permission" document:
