Jim - do you think there's any chance of the Sicily trip being extended to cover Goodwood - and maybe the UK Ferrari Owners Club Concours late June ? It would be wonderful to see the car (or even the fleet ) here - imagine the photos of the P4 outside Buckingham Palace ! |

Jim, is the 002C car fully restored (it sure looks it!) or do you and Sal feel anything needs to be done on it? | |

Hi
We took her semi apart. As Sal said: "I want to put my hand on every bolt."
We redid the seat bottoms, tightened and cleaned, changed fluids, touched up a bit of paint but all in all she's in fine shape.
Sal and my son Jesse drove her 80 miles being escorted by two Police cars at the French Quarter Classic. The Police told me they were running at 110mph! I was crusing along in J6 with my daughter. That puppy runs at 165 with 2K rpms to go!
What an event.
We have a bit more work to do on 0846 and 002C but we'll be ready to roll in June for the Historic Targa Floria.

Jim
I saw a web post about P4 sn 0858 to be auctioned by the IRS
in Phoenix on March 30 to pay back taxes, but the article gave few details. Is this legit?

Sorry for getting here late. Y'all were going better than 110 mph by a longshot on the drive from the track back to the Quarter. I sneaked in line with my Accord and when the police waved us on to the straight line toward the interstate, I tried to keep up. I was doing 110, maxed out and I was more of a traffic jam than anything else. Sure wish I'd driven the S2000 - it does 150.

Amen.....
BTW, is the #6 333 LM/TestaRossa one of yours too?

No that one is owned by Jim Spiro and is up for auction at the Ferrari Factory in June.

Beautiful! What curves. And very rare; I think only 18 original Type 33 Stradales were built. I owned a Ferrari 246GTS some years ago, which is reminiscent of the Stradale but perhaps a bit more user-friendly. The Stradale looks tiny. | |

I can seriously only begin to tell you how jealous I am of your garage. Thanks for driving them and not sequestering them from the eyes of fellow enthusiasts.
Throw a MK1 and a 962 in there and you truly have my dream garage.
Green with envy,
Chris | |

We're remounting 0854's original coupe body back on her and using the spyder body that was on her which is from 0858 to restore 0846 to the spyder she should be.
Note original paint and race # on 0854's tail which we're going to save. | |
