Dried camel again?

You know, I haven't seen a single camel since I arrived here three months ago. Might in part be down to the fact that I appear to live at my desk

But no; Spag Bol tonight, courtesy of the multi-talented Mrs GP

Would it class as hand baggage on a JAL long haul?

So, an EG Daytona rep. Sort of.

Based on a 365 GT4, retaining the chassis and running gear, even down to the instruments, it is a genuine 365, rebodied.

Sub 50k seems like a steal.

It may not be pukka, but it's not that far removed from a chopped coupe really. I want it.

That EG Daytona rep. Sort of, very nice, I wouldn't say no to it either (possibly the first time I've said that about a Ferrari).

I'll be at that auction

ETA Just looked at LOT list; changed my mind.

Always wanted one of those. Don't know why. Maybe 'cos they're a sort of 70s car (when I was a kid). Massive want.

Reminds me of one of my old things, turn the speakers up....

I hasten to add, that this wasn't me but it sounded the same...

Spot. On. Perfect.

With hindsight (and alcohol) I probably would have done....

...we had the engine re-built featuring an Abarth specification fast-road cam-shaft, Abarth specification sports exhaust, electronic ignition, Dellorto DHLB32 side-draft carburettor, and an Abarth specification aluminium oil sump. These works were followed by a rolling road tune by Mech Motorsport in Cheltenham in September 2011 when the engine showed to have 28 bhp at 5,640 rpm and 29 lbft of torque at 3,200 rpm.

Really? looks like some nice stuff to me.

this looks quite interesting:



Especially since the reserve is £55-65k and a sequential gearshift system has been fitted

I'd admire the auctioneers cheek of suggesting that it's 'a wolf in sheep's clothing' - if so, then I'd hate to see a wolf in wolf's clothing!!

Still interested now?




Discussed here.

Probably, yes.
