Although nothing like Peters collection, these are reasonable to look after/maintain. No dearer than smoking, golf or any other hobby. I reason my brother spends 3 x as much following Everton every year.
Gratuitous post but I know Pete appreciates the form(shape) of these.

Emailed you an update, Pete.

Lots of things wrong with this car, Chris Evans paid well over the odds for it and it’s not 100% genuine. It’s not got its original engine, it’s had a swap out and then re-stamped with the original name. Definitely not worth the money.

How does it have Classiche certification if it’s not quite as it seems?

Edit - no reason to doubt what you say, just interested in how it gets certified.

I really don’t know!!! Look it up online about how pissed Evans was about it.

It's a delightful thing. Once my body is too old to enjoy the Atom, that will be high on the list of replacements.

Thanks for the heads up.
Just been speaking to someone who knows him really well, said his daughter will be helping him sell his collection.

Anytime my friend. They don't call me zondaboy or Poirot for nothing.

Did you get the reincarnation joke?

Cars don’t need to be original to be pass the classiche certification. They just need to have the right specification. In other words they can have the wrong engine but as log as it is the right type it will pass. For instance 1995GT chassis number could be certified with 1993GTs engine. Normally if a car lost its engine many years ago Ferrari will build a new one and stamp it accordingly. All this will be noted in the file. Cars will also pass with new bodies as long as the new body is same spec (can’t replace steel with an alloy body) and right dimensions

And this everyone, is the guy you need to listen to when talking about classic Ferrari’s. He’s probably forgot more about these cars than we all know collectively.

Excerpt from an email I sent to you that you might have not got:

You might have already seen this. Your Lusso in a previous life:

Speaking of past lives, the wife asked me what does reincarnation mean? I told her that it means when you die you come back as something else. She said when she dies she wants to come back as a pig. I said to her you're not listening to me are you. Haha.

Worthy of the jokes thread. Needs a Vipers style ‘and that’s when the fight started’ finish

This is an interesting topic, if perhaps a bit morbid! Given your health scares in the past (or even the random chance of just being hit by a bus), have you put a collection disposal plan together??

All my assets will simply go to my wife and children.
It’s not morbid for you to think this way either, it’s just realistic.
I’m surrounded by death every day as I see it more than others because of the charity work I do. It’s there people, for real it’s there, and in every form too.
My wives best friends mother is dying from brain cancer, she had her tumour out at Xmas and everything was good. Now she’s got stage 4 cancer. There’s no coming back from that. After Xmas she was flying high because she had her operation, now she’s just drinking herself into a stupor everyday.
I myself don’t have too many health problems now. Yes I have epilepsy but it’s mild and I’ve not had a seizure in years thanks to the medication. I sometimes get a disconnect, which is like a prolonged deja vu, and yeah I only have enough energy for about 8 hours a day (used to be 4 but I’m training myself) before I crash but then I can’t sleep due to insomnia.
Apart from the very rare times I get a disconnect, some healthy people have the same issues I have now.
Someone on here commented a few pages back about how they’d rather have their 3 bed house and their E class Merc than have my money, cars and health problems.
I had to shake my head at that and say to myself that I’d rather have my previous health issues (that our now gone, well the serious ones anyway) and be retired young.
This PH’er might think he’s healthy now but he doesn’t know what’s round the corner and that’s what’s terrifying.

So the best advice I can give is don’t wait to do something you’ve always wanted to. Tell your wife, husband or partner that you love them, and if you don’t then move on haha.
Get a dog, they’re so good for your health unless you’re allergic.
Buy that car if you can afford it, mix up your routine and most importantly turn your TV off a few nights a week and soon you’ll just forget about it.
You know where this advice comes from? Every terminal person I speak to wishes they’d have done this.

The doctor said I will walk again but I will always have a limp.

I enjoy your updates Pete & the way PHers are searching for cars that might be worthy of adding to your collection.

Your quote above is worthy of repeating.
