Image Unavailable, Please Login Dear 0895gt, you are a brilliant machine, made by proud men who had passion for what they did and the desire to make a racing car that in its day was the best in the world. Thank you for being my companion during this journey and sharing your soul with me and thank you for getting me here safely!

Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Quick visit to the Ferrari museum, always like to try and spot errors. Didn't take long, here they listed a 1967 or 1968 275 gtb4 as a 1964 GTB!
TC 100 My Italian isn't very good but I don't think the 1964 should be taken literally as that was just when that GTB series was introduced. They talk about The Thomas Crown Affair which had a NART spider which had a couple of appearances in the movie wearing at that time deep red paint. I prefer the design of the early short nose 2 cam editions with the squared off front grill and tidy bumpers but the whole of that GTB series is special, each in it's own way regardless of year!
Thanks for this great thread, the colossal amount of breathtaking pics and sharing your wonderful experiences. Safe travels back home, for you and the car!
The roof on the Agnelli Testarossa didn't work when it was at the UK FOC Concours in July. I wonder of it has now been fixed and they checked it. Lovely car though. Spoke to the owner in the parade in Modena.
A video you ( Roma ) might not have had an opportunity to see yet, plus of course for all others to enjoy.
paraphrasing someone famous; you can love your car, but you can't loooooove your car. Or can you? Well done, Roma!

Image Unavailable, Please Login While I am sitting at Milan airport #0895gt is on the truck in Switzerland about 60 miles from the French border. This is the pic the driver just sent. I hope he is not texting and driving! Car should be back at DK by tomorrow lunchtime. Now I have to arrange the return flight.

Mark, what an adventure! I was away from FChat while renovations were going on, now I'm back and to see all these pictures and stories, it's a real treat! Thanks again for sharing with us, and I don't have to tell you just how lucky you are! Have a safe trip home!
