More likely the F40 owned by a prominent furniture manufacturing family in Sydney. It was the only other one in the country at the time, George's came later.
I've been trying to find the Qld Ferrari history booklet I received when I joined the club in '07 and I can't bugger! I did find this pristine copy of this though...could be the 330 in SA that was for sale a couple of years ago...plus you know what the other one is Carl: Image Unavailable, Please Login

when I said "the only other one" I would have thought that implied apart from PP's. There were a bunch here by the early 90's of course.
That F40 next to the 312PB is #79167. PP's. Left for O/S in about 1991 or so. The Parlby F40 is #80780, resides in Victoria.
So here's a bunch more,some OK shots some not: Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

Bevan C up here, has recently completed a full restoration at great expense! He’s had it since late 90’s. Silly signature here to annoy KIAI
I just read this great story (not sure if its been posted before, however its a great read) about Kerry & the cars that passed through his hands, I knew he had owned some serious cars, but some were very serious Kerry was a loverly guy, sad about his health now. https://www.tradeuniquecars.com.au/features/2001/kerry-manolas-ferrari-812-superfast-1965-275-gtb-4-coupe
I remember following Kerry and Bill Brown in the 275 on a NSW drive day many years ago Listening to the sound of that 12 bouncing off the rock face as we drove through thenational park was absolute joy
Panel shops had very easy access to the ingredients to make speed which kept a lot of them in business. John
Great pics, thanks PP/Carl! What building was that in? Was it the concorso day of the Rally? I have no idea how the Rallies were structured back then…
Image Unavailable, Please Login This is an advertisement from Sydney Morning Herald 11 May 1974. I believe the car was bought by Greville Egerton in Melbourne. Does any old guy recognise the phone number or remember the car ? It had already been converted to Rhd when Greville bought it Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat
Dan I think that is the World Trade Centre for 1989. There was another rally at the showgrounds, but I think that was earlier. 1984?
Antony, a bit before my time but that's a great find. Being no 1973 365 GTC, I wonder if the advertisement refers to the later 365 GTC/4? (Which wasn't 1973 either). I have no record of the car. I do have Greville associated with a Dino 246 GT in the 1980s. # unknown I understand Greville is the son of Ron, an Australian motor racing identity, active mid century. If he's still around, I suppose he might know.
Hi Carl. Yes I’m sure it’s for a 365gc/4. Possibly my car. Officially C4,s we’re Manufactured in 1971 and 1972. But the last ones were made in early 1973. My car was owned by Greville. He sold it to Charlie pandolfo( the Italian Job) went to duttons Then to noel roscrow south Australia. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat
OK, I think the mystery is solved, at least for me, #14503. It was definitely owned by Charlie whom I think bought it around 1980 or so. I also recall seeing it at Dutton in Richmond around 1983. However it wasn't green back then, I recall it as marrone metallizzato. FRD 2014 Image Unavailable, Please Login
