Ferrari purists look away now..

[HairbearTE]

Personally I think this is great chance for someone with the balls and the cash! What I lack in the former I more than make up for with stupidity however I am lacking in sufficient of the latter to make this happen! Surely a great opportunity to buy a classic Ferrari to drive every day, at least in the summer (if dry, not this summer obviously but..) and not feel bad about it! It's also a chance to own and drive such a vehicle without a lot of the hassle & overheads of a 100% original vehicle. I wonder if anyone here agrees or if everyone will hate it?..

do we think possible engine failure before?

I bloody hope so! I'd hate to think he just tossed a good one away and dropped in a small block!

It was very common for US-owned Latin exotica to end up with a Yank lump once they were on their third or fourth owner, weren't worth much and the local spanner chimp couldn't figure out how an OHC V12 worked

Wouldn't have any issues buying if it were cheap enough, but I'd be looking for a hefty reduction.

Can always hunt for an engine down the line.

Pirelli P4000s, That is a travesty!

In all seriousness, it is cheaper than originals already and could make a decent start point to make original. Rest of the car looks really clean.

There was quite a period of time when 2+2 Ferraris weren't worth much at all over here, it probably blew up that V12 and this kept it from being junked. There was a 250GTE on eBay not too long ago also with a domestic V8.

P4000s are better than XWXs! Oh, and half the cost... Although they're no longer sold here (and those are probably P4000 SuperTourings anyhow; all season P4000s).
