    2221 GT was exported from England to Italy on 9 September 1975 and registered in the name of Giuseppe Medici's company Medici SpA from 27 November 1975 until 14 December 1982 and during that time it used Italian license plates of Reggio Emilia "RE 265000". It was born RHD, then converted to LHD and later re-converted back to RHD.
    I took the below pic at DK on 3 May 2011 while still LHD.

    2221 GT also had an alloy body installed on it in the 1970s and the steel body retained. However, the original steel body was restored and reunited with it around 2011 and the car was Classiche Certified. Of course I know Mr Massini knows all this.

    This is the picture that started my obsession with with Ferraris….I was 14. I was sick in bed and I asked my father to bring me a car magazine from the drugstore. He didn’t care about cars at all so he picked this one at random.

    Ed Niles never owned 2083 GT.
    The information in the Pourret book and some websites is not correct.
    I own the entire Ed Niles archive with all the dox.

    I never wrote that Ed Niles owned this vehicle?!

    My message was a simple and small tribute to Mr. Edwin Niles, a man who made me laugh sometimes on this forum.

    Yes, indeed, I know perfectly well that you are the owner of all his archives.
    I will never forget that Edwin Niles pressed the shutter button of the camera and being on the premises themselves.

    Are you convinced Customer?
    I remain neutral in this case.
    I don't know this garage personally, but I noticed it has beautiful premises, the cars are sometimes extraordinary in the finish, colour and rarity of the model. There are also heavy racing models or even prototypes. Maybe a garage to visit?

    Not a customer; out in Canada.
    They certainly know what their customers want. They have an inventory of new and also classic Ferrari models available. Seemingly a very Ferrariesque Ferrari dealership all presented to a high standard.

    With sugar you have and do everything.
    This garage is a reference in Europe.
    Blu será is perfect for me, Blu le Mans also.
