    Ha, what a cool piece. Is there some sort of story behind it? Just something someone threw together or is it parts of an actual hub?

    think it must be fairly small, unless that is one giant roll of tape?

    very cool piece, love it - would like to see the dimensions and some history as well, i have never seen anything like it!

    History? Ferrari decided to make the coolest looking tape dispenser in honor of the P4. The end. I do think it is a fairly rare piece.

    I’d say it’s about 8 inches long. Size is not much different than a normal tape dispenser.

    I got mine from Griots Garage a bunch of years back. Mine is numbered GG 039. Works well but try and find tape to fit it!

    I have this and it actually IS a large roll of tape, the inner hub must be about 3" in diameter. so as all things Ferrari, you have to search the right parts!!!

    A young engineer once walked over to my desk, pointed to it and said:
    "THIS is one of the most awesome things, I have ever seen!!"

    Not long afterward, I was canned by a popular vote, and me and all my cool stuff, were loaded out!!!
    No one else had framed oil paintings on the wall, either.

    I might take $500 for mine as it's back in a box o'crap in the garage....

    I had another one of these pass through my hands last month. So cool. $500 is on the low end. Just letting you know.

    Can someone post a photo of the long screw that holds the hub to the assembly? I'm assuming it should be a flat-head but maybe it was not?

    Does anyone know the history? When were they manufactured, how many were made, were they sold to the public, etc.?

    Had this on my desk for years and would get comments about it all the time. I don't think I ever used any tape though lol. Even the tape looks vintage.

    I was just offered $1100 for mine, which I politely declined.

    It's hazy in memory..possibly a Griots Garage piece?
    Anyone know??

    The box is a glossy red and has a cardboard cut out to hold the base in place...

    I would DEFINATELY take $1100 for mine....LOL!
    Still won't get my job back though.

    I had to take oil painting off the wall leaving, I guess it was not meant to be!
