On a documentary about 5 years ago, an Italian chap produced a fully working V12 minature ferrari model car.

The programme was fascinating, the model took the guy about 20 years to make and was absolutely stunning in every detail.

It would be fantastic to find out if there was a video / dvd available with the feature on.

Anyone remember it?

Cheers,

Mart

Could be wrong, but I think it was a Clarksons Motorworld, Meet the Neighbours, or something like that.
Can't find it on DVD at any of the usual outlets, but I imagine if you keep your eye on UK Gold something or other, (channel 566 on Sky) it seems to some round about once a month
If I remember correctly he had built every last piece, but was planning on selling it to fund his next project

Clarkson's Extreme Machines, same episode that had a jet powered radio controlled Concorde in it.

If you do a search on the internet for a Ferrari 312 Real Media file you'll probably find the clip to download.

Wow, building a 2nd 312pb, the 330 he mentioned on the program and also a 250 !

He's going to be very busy.

Apparently just the engine though

Still pretty nifty though!

Surely a 9.26 GTO, rather than a 250 c'est ne pas?
