0117S is heading to vdvgrant?
great!

do they welcome visitors?

 

Just a note for the historians: I purchased 4063 as a bare shell June, 1969, from Carter Phelps (Josie von Neuman's husband if memory serves). Entire drive train and RF corner missing. Sold off a few bits, and then the balance went to a hot-rod builder, who presumably built the goofy nose and installed the V-8.

 

cool!

 

THe story of 117 S is quite unique but how many cars Berlinetta have been modified in Barchetta in the "50 or even "60 ?

I ve send 40 books to Ferrarichat, thank you for your help

This car was to been at the Antwerp Classic Salon last weekend.

A bit of detailing was carried out... whilst keeping the patina:

 

The car have been started, run very well, new Borrannis wheels, new electric system, car is available is the right buyer is there I believe . Will be at Modena June 21 to 24

 

what ever happens with it it has been very interesting to read through this thread.

the body has fantastic lines. i like the new wheels better but they still seem a little off somehow. are the rear tires the same size as the front? the competition cars usually wore 1" taller/wider tires on back than on front. IE my pf has 600x16 front and rear. the period competition cars wore 550 on front and 650 on back. this was done because (i believe) the cars with a full fuel load and driver in had a significant rear weight bias.

I don't agree with reconstructing a 118LM, that implies somebody has replicated a frame ... thus we are going to have to assign a number to it and thus we have created confusion , another horrible replica .

I think this car should be restored (yes even new paint ... you cannot race 'bombs'. There is a standard of race preparation that has to be maintained. But not over restored, think of Jim's prototype Ferraris) to as converted in the early 60's, OR as the Mille Miglia entry, but then you would only have an original chassis (but heck many original cars have less ).

This car is absolutely beautiful. The current coachwork not so much. I wonder what it would take in USD to put this beauty back to the original coachwork?

 

Where in the world would you find a 195 motor if you are going to return the car to the Motto design?

 

I love the vintage Ferrari euphemisms.

On a forty year old Ferrari it's called "patina" on a forty year old Pontiac it's called rust.
