Early Ferrari, someone will roll by with the chassis number I'm sure (or it could be a rep)

Appears to be some variety of a mid-50s Ferrari 750 Monza

The post above seems correct ,assuming not a replica.

Can't see the reg or even if they are UK plates.

Was it on UK plates ?

It is an SD 500..
Designed and built by my neighbour, and friend, Stan Daniels.

He and Gerry Hawkridge ( Hawk Cars ...Stratos etc ) built a very small number of them.
It has an Alfa engine.


More info ….. http://www.shmooautomotive.co.uk/product/sd500-fer...

His car was the prototype and is, in fact, car no 1.

I will see if I can pop round at the weekend and get some close ups.

Sorry, I still haven't managed to pop round to Stans house and get any photos.
I did, however, find this on the 'tube.
