    Thought this might be of interest..........Featured in the latest edition of Practical Classics.......a UK motoring mag. They have a feature each month named Rust In Peace where readers are asked to submit pictures of any classic cars they find in breaker's yards. Its usually full of old Austins and Fords etc. Apologies for the poor photo quality but picture is spread over two pages.......No chassis number given and they also are unsure what it is ??? Not really a Ferrari based magazine..... The car is in a yard in Somerset UK. The guy who found it gives his email address as [email protected] if anyones interested.

    That rear window glass must be worth some good money! Although how often does anyone have a problem with their rear window glass?

    well, provided drivetrain is intact, if nothing else it might be able to donate parts to keep other 400s alive!

    Probably the biggest problem is trying to remove the glass to paint/ fix rust around the opening. From what I understand its a pretty good chance the glass will break when removing it. If you see a window where the glass is starting to delaminate it is usually caused be water getting to the edge of the glass. So, delamInated glass equalls water leak equalls chance of rust.

    You can, but the car listed above was accidentally left out one night. :D

    It's clearly melting. This is the classic example that they will melt when they get wet.
