Thanks Jimmy for the kind words - I hear you can get good money for a kidney if the bank balance is a little shy........ Regards, Chris

Posted the Daytona for sale - check out the car in the 'Cars For Sale' section of this forum...... Chris

For sale - disassembled and unfinished EG Autokraft, a Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Berlinetta replica (known as the ‘Ferrari Daytona’) - registered/ titled in the UK as a 1978 EG Autokraft. Most of the description of the car, pictures and it’s status is covered in the GT40s forum link below -...

Hello forum members, It’s been very interesting writing about the development and rebuild of my EG Autokraft - and I had hoped it would encourage me to get back into the project and finish the car. But unfortunately I have other projects that are more of a pull on my finances and time right...

Nice choice of car Mark - very cool image, Daytona’s look awesome in yellow - that looks like the ex-Ecurie Francorchamps car that finished eighth overall at Le Mans in 72’, driven by Derek Bell, Teddy Pilette and Richard Bond. Now owned by Nick Mason….. Chris

Thanks Mike, I think I'm also coming to a similar conclusion, a Race version also setup for street use would be pretty dramatic and as there's a few race tracks close to me I could do some track days quite easily. As mentioned previously, I have a couple of weekend runabouts and a dedicated...

Some pictures from Jalopnik of the Pasteiner's parking lot yesterday....... Parking at Pasteiners - 05/10/2014 (photodump + video) Chris

I'm not sure how many of you forum members live in the Detroit area - but every Saturday morning 8:00am - 10:00am there is a Cars & Coffee event at Pasteiner's car book store in Birmingham MI. I'll be there with my 65' Mustang 2+2 fastback - it'll be the black one with red interior. Hope to see...

I scanned the original Jaguar covers and created a CAD model of the Ferrari cam tops to fit perfectly on top of the Jaguar parts. I measured the original Ferrari Daytona cam covers to get as close as possible to these parts. The final CAD data I created was then sent out and cast aluminium parts...

Some images of the original Ferrari Daytona engine - originally the cam tops were painted all black on Daytona production cars, but many owners had the two horizontal strips and the Ferrari script highlighted in silver - it looks much better with the highlighted script. As you can see from these...

More detail - I did look into swapping out the Jaguar V12 for a real Ferrari V12 and a couple of options were available - the cheapest being a Ferrari 400 V12, the most expensive I contemplated a Ferrari 456 or 550 V12. But this would have been a big undertaking, the fabrication to convert...

In 2008 a British kit car magazine did an article on Ferrari replicas and my car was mentioned. Here are a few pages from that article - not all of the article but the bits that mention my car - hope you find it interesting. This was prior to the work undertaken in the above thread...

Hello Eric, I'm also a newbie, just joined the Forum too, but I'm also the owner of a 65' Mustang 2+2 fastback - looking forward to seeing your cars...... Best Regards, Chris

Hello Mesa, You’re right - the Campagnolo's are great wheels, and look amazing in the gold finish - and i’ve seen many different versions of the wheel arch extension on the Daytona, some looking very odd and badly shaped, some rounded to follow the tyres, others squared off and irregular...

Thanks Ian, Im glad you're finding this post entertaining - and I kinda know what you mean about this car not being the Ferrari of choice for replication - and originally when I was looking to purchase a car I wasn't searching for a Ferrari replica but actually looking for a pre-73’ Porsche...

Thought you might like this - an awesome Ferrari Daytona GTB/4C driven at Daytona 24 Hours race in 1977 by three US drivers - Paul Newman, Elliot Forbes-Robinson and Milt Minter…… it’s amazing how the production car can sometimes look so delicate, but the race car looks very butch and...

I bought this car a few years ago - because I absolutely love the purest proportion, knife like surface execution and delicate detailing of the Daytona and it was the last beautiful front-engined Ferrari in my humble opinion. I couldn't afford a 'real' Daytona - even more so now that the coupes...

And the 'better half' would probably say I have enough cars and I should get rid of this one - so best not to ask her!!! Chris

Hi Jimmy, I already have two vintage race cars and another couple of weekend cars, so my options are pretty open regarding this one. I guess it's probably more a decision about which direction would ultimately add value to the car if I ever decided to move it on....... Chris
