Why The English Don't Design Ferraris - 1952 212 Inter Coupe S/N 0165EL by Abbott

where is 0165 EL today? still in Australia?

 

I agree. I also think its a shame it was rebodied. The rebody car will always be just that, a rebody. This car was unique, however you felt about it.

 

Nearly bought that car, about 7-8 years ago now I guess. It was with some guy in Sydney. The whole meeting, with this guy and the car itself just did not seem right. First thing he showed me was a photo of him and Enzo together, which immediately put me off. Thank heavens I did not buy it.

 

does anyone know which engine is in this car?

 

It was 0247EU when I saw the car. Dont know if that is still in it.

 

Do you think the photo was "rebodied" too, Red Baron? lol

 

Who knows. You can have your photo taken in reality with anyone now days. At a Ferrari get together I attended in the past there were something like 10 or more F1 drivers there past and present. Every man and his dog were pushing to get next to one of them to get a photo taken. Probably to tell others they were great buddys.

 

Did anybody watch Gerhard Berger pedal the English-designed 640 around Goodwood today? Impressive, even for “demonstration” laps. He even managed to give the skid plate a sparking good whack.

 

link please

 

As far as derailed threads this take the all time cake.

To go back on topic I always found this aberration to be the worst ever among coachbuilt Ferraris and am glad it no longer exists.

Also some people did not understand this thread has nothing at all to do with F1.

 

At least give me some credit for reviving it. The thread, that is….

 

Hmmmm.....NO!

 

Ok, I’ll give myself a thread ban, then.

Still, Berger was fantastic in the 640.

 

Please don't we'd miss you;-) Instead you might want to find choice words to describe the atrociousness of the thread topic vehicle
