The FerrariLife project is very interesting - mk_e is amazingly competent. But it's in the US, of course.

But this one is interesting for other reasons. If the story is correct, then it is a unique car with a great UK link.

Very interesting car, and I hope it is what is advertised and that the new owner will show her off at many events.

I recall being at Oulton Park in Cheshire in the late 80's with some mates at a race meeting and as we were walking back to our cars to leave, we saw a blue 308 outside the paddock entrance.

Nothing special there, of course, but one of my mates who had owned a few tasty cars of his own, noticed that on the back panel, below the usual 308 badge was a V12 badge......much like that from a Jaguar V12.......

We had a bit of banter between ourselves about the need for a Ferrari owner to 'badge up' his car........

The driver must have heard as he blipped the engine producing the unexpected sound of a 12 cylinder engine.

He then got out and opened the rear engine cover............

A motley crew of Scousers were suitably impressed!

Might well have been the same car as advertised in original posting.

AMR.

That car might have the power you'd expect from a Ferrari, but it'll never be worth anything near a factory standard car.
