2021 Concorso Italiano

[911MRP]

. . . 250 TR 'Testa Rosa' --- 'pontoon-fendered' Fantuzzi body

My poster car, growing up. Not sure how many were originally built, like this, but some were re-bodied later in a more-functional (-fashionable) full-envelope body. Pretty outrageous-looking --- + surprisingly compact . . . thing 's tiny

Real? . . . GTO makes 'tool-room' copies, so . . .

My friend — a neighbour who lives a few houses away on my street has similar owned for years. Not a new tool room copy. Lovely chap we’ve dine a few old car things together. Coincidentally unrelated to this thread just mentioned it to another who frequents forum only last week. Believe the later body shape was regarded as the superior form vs pontoon for racing. We went for a run in it to a breakfast invitation in the summer. Quite a head turner getting lots of positive reactions even in the wealthiest part of central London that’s home to many hyper and supercars so relatively immune to seeing special cars.

The short nose 275 GTB is a beauty.

. . . aargh!

Pictures, Sir! --- pictures . . .

. . . 365GTS/4 'Daytona' Spyder

Who cares if it's 'real' or not --- IMO? . . . thing 's frickin' drop-dead gorgeous!

Be mighty tempting to take a Sawzall to a Berlinetta, if I owned one . . . to come out with something anything like this


So why can't Ferrari still build cars like this? 'Cause, IMO, despite all the performance, their newer stuff just looks silly + grasping

. . . 'member when people would complain about how new cars were all made o' plastic?

Check-out all this Ferrari plastic

Scoops, wings, vents, bazooka pipe exhaust housings --- all sculpted outta? . . . wait for it . . .


. . . plastic!


Thing better be fast --- so when it flashes by? . . .




. . . I don't have t' look at it


Ghastly

[LongRanger]

. . . more Ferraris

F12 --- color 's called 'Miami' . . . or should be. (I know-I know --- you were thinking maybe Medellín?)

Dino . . . psh --- always thought these looked like kit cars

Some Big Coupe . . . no idea

Two 488s (I think) . . . guess which one looks like somebody lost a bet? Or maybe just a liiiiitle too much trust money? Oo-oo --- I know, I know . . . 'radar absorbing'!

Another look at The Big Coupe . . . and, from this angle, anyway . . . looking a bit . . . chubbier

612 Scaglietti? . . . nice color

Hi Uli

Hope all is well? No just a friend and long standing neighbour on who has some interesting cars mow and owned some eclectic ones in the past. Obviously I wouldn’t post a photo of a friend’s personal car on an open www forum without their permission. If you are coming back for 2022 Revival I’ll introduce you as likely he and I will go down together assuming such things are even happening this year.

Race to Immortality ( trailer here) isn’t Netflix finest but has some shots of the original red cars that era in action driven by Peter Collins

The grey coupe is a Roma.

[LongRanger]

. . . Non-Italians

Turbo Honda-powered something-or-t'other. Needs one more wheel (at least). Not sure why the intakes (?) are wrapped --- but the whole contraption looks pretty terrifying . . . kinda like Peyronie's . . .
. . . only louder --- + faster?

'Vettes? --- + a Supra? . . . sure/why not?

'02 Roundie . . . hey, fair's fair

Requisite Porsche content . . . and-uh --- that's NOT rust. Reminds me of a Rose Parade float. Or maybe something that should've just stayed in Vegas?

OK-fine --- at least they're Italian on the inside

911 --- 'back-date,' maybe?
