Tom Meade 246

It looks like the one thats been on ebay several times.I reconised the wheels and the structure

 

One and the same; also on several websites.

 

Are there any pics of her when she was whole?

 

it looks like 04994, a dino 246 GTS. It has been on several sites as stated here before. I also have this to add: One off Dino project set up for V 12 Ferrari 330/ 365 Daytona motor. And two pics from that site as well:

Whoever owns this car should talk to Stephen in England about reconstructing the body. This poor old car got butchered pretty bad but it is almost seems economically feasible to rebuild considering some of the prices 246s are fetching.

 

Why ?
Why ? Because resale value is the ultimate be-all-and-end-all ????
Why not complete the car in the manner which Tom Meade had originally intended ?
Presumably in the style of a 'mini' Thomassima II: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16451

 

Totally agree, it would be a stunning thing to see finished.
What was the reason it wasn't completed originally?

 

Personally ? No idea. Perhaps these were amongst contributary factors:

Philippe. Is there any tail section bodywork ? If, so do you have a photo of it ?

 

(partial quote of one of my posts from the Thomassima II (of Tom Meade) thread)

On the first page (40) of that article is a small photo of the Meade Dino 246 manichino (wire-frame body buck).

It would definetely be quite something to see completed, thanks for the very informative (& knowledgeable) background. Real shame there weren't more of these creations produced. The only ones I'd been aware of previously were the Lusso's.
Cheers, Al.

Hard to tell. But is that silver "Dino" a spyder?

 

Good find. definitely the same car as the "meade" labeled car. I wonder what the story with it is. It was in the FML a few years back as a rolling chassis.

 

I always wanted to own a 206 S or a Bizzarini 538 but i couldn't find anything so far...
