Paolo,
Tom Meade (the beautiful car in your picture is the Thomassina) is still building cars and living in Italy (Modena?) I had the chance to talk to him a few months ago, he is full of stories and advice for car nuts like us. He is certainly one of "Us". His mother was in poor health here in Southern California so he was here taking care of Mom and collecting Ferrari chassis for 'rebodying'. Unfortunately his mother passed away, I don't know if he has returned to your country yet. Tom seemed an authentic "Gearhead" and I felt privelidged that he spent so much of his time talking to little ol' nobody me. It's a conversation with one of my heros I will never forget.
