Ferrari shark nose at Goodwood

I was astonished to see this car since at first I thought it was the Chris Rea one repainted but a quick look around proved that this was "the real thing" in that everything was correct and that it had FIA papers to race, which the original replica didn't. Here is a photo of this car I took in 1996 at Silverstone with Stirling at the wheel.



Incidentally, it was this car and his efforts that encouraged me to build my own car, seen here at Goodwood on a shakedown run. A full article will be in the Octane magazine next month (December issue).

I read it Wouter, which is why I put this photo up from 1996. I had a good chat to the mechanics about it while there. Lovely piece of work.

We could do the same with your car.
