Hello all On the 400GT thats the Carbueretted 400 manual gearbox how many are in existence? Ive got Mine RHD Chasis No 21341 Dark metallic silver (was black) based in Scotland Dark Blue one south coast??? any chassis numbers info??? Tassies in Australia got the chassis number Tassie? On production numbers I have 147 factory production 85 right hand drive 21 UK right hand drive imported and three in existence ! ? ! Regards Alastair
Excellent Paul good man. so thats 5 should be some more out there, lets see how many we can unearth. Hello the world are you out there? UK 21341 Dark metallic silver 22569 Dark blue 24741 Silver France 27741 Burgundy red metallic Australia Tassies 400? If your there Tassie got your Chassis No? Good on you sport!
is the repaint of yours is finished ? Any picture with its new color paint ? How was it originally delivered ?
Good stuff Paul just to clarify is that RHD 400GT 27 made up of 21 UK imported and 6 for the rest of the world? It may get complicated by the possibility that UK imported 21 Cars were re exported!!! I got the 21 number of UK imported cars from Marranello. Any thoughts or knowledge on that? Regards Alastair
On the 85 No. my mistake that was for auto and manual here I hope to establish only Manual gearbox or 400GT
Don't have more than what I've written. I m interested in all UK production numbers, to update my files and check what I ve got. I could have registered RHD 400GT as RHD 400 Auto.. There aren't always pictures of the interior and auctions house often mistake about that !
The repaint is nearly finished did it myself in that garage believe it or not!! Not concourse job but usable once i wet sand and polish. The original delivered colour was black. The new colour is Canna De Fucile 703C I got the paint code from Ferraris modern (classic colours) Engine is now installed since this picture getting close to driving condition again after many beers work Image Unavailable, Please Login
Agree Paul theres a lot of mistakes when identifying the cars especially with adverts and then you see the photos and get the real info. I am positive on the 147 Factory production worldwide 21 UK right hand drive imports 6 rest of the world??!!! making that 120 left hand drive 400GT produced worldwide? Image Unavailable, Please Login
Hi Ross thanks for that, is 2789 on the road? When you say it was rebodied is it original or changed into something else? 340mm longer? waw. Any pics Regards Alastair
I think it is rebodied in 340 Mille Miglia... It will be hard to have a complete thread about 400GT. I thought we were talking about the Rhd ones. How do you know that #20789 is the very first 400GT ? Cause I have an earlier car : #20539 Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Yes, by a very talented fellow in Texas. First manual gearbox 400, the first cars were automatic. @dinopaul Interesting, my claim is from a list I had seen here at one time, http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=315356&highlight=20789 I believe 20789 was the subject of an old thread, a car languishing outdoors in Dallas,TX. I think it was silver then. It's body, now with a sloppy gold paint job was advertised on Craig'slist, the link posted to a thread here about two years ago. I briefly owned it intending it as wall art and a reserve of spares for my own. A number of factors conspired against this and it was sold on to a fellow in the Boston area who stated intentions to re-chassis and repower it. An ambitious project.
So of the 27 RHD 400GT produced we have 5 cars. Tassies in Australia Mine Scotland Blue one South UK Silver one South UK Burgundy red France Any advance on that folks?
Aussie F register currently has the following,I presume they're all RHD:21055,21185,22417,22547,27445.
Hello from Scotland Simon your weather will be better than ours here thata for sure. Do you know for sure these numbers are 400GT (manual gearbox, carbueretted) not 400 (auto carbueretted) or 400i (FI) any more info on whether RHD or not would be great. Regards Alastair
Alastair,yes beaming sunshine and about 26C at the moment:1015 AM. This is straight out of the register you receive as a new member,or,you can purchase a new one about every 5 years. All the cars I put up read:400GT. I was under the impression that they would all be carby/manual.I didn't/don't know if there were any auto GT's. All the injected car's are signified as such;400i. There is record of auto with these :400A Wayne's/Tassie's car is not on the register under his name,indeed(I've just checked)it does'nt appear at all on the register.This can be for several reasons:compilers don't know of it's existence,could have been brought in from O/S. The current register was compiled for 2009. My 365 is just about to emerge from 7 months' in the paint shop. Should have some pics in a week or so. Cheers Simon.
Right thats it ime moving to Australia! its freezing here. That would be 6 400GT in Austaralia including Tassies interesting. Maybe some of the numbers are 400 autos. Maybe Paul can also check to see if the chassis numbers match. very good on the paintshop emergence look forward to seing some photos well done. Me too just done paint and the cars at final MOT readying stage so should be picking up in the next couple of weeks cant wait. lets see if any other info comes in on the exact specs of your list In meantime Regards from Scotland Alastair
Alastair, Yes mine is indeed a 400 GT, 22569, originally English till I rescued it to the sunshine and bright lights of Australia. Still Blu Scuro. FYI I also have a 400iGT, 30719 and 412GT, 61431, both also rescued from that dreary place. And if you move to Tasmania you get the best driving roads on the planet and only 5 min from your door. Ask Simon. Simon, Sorry, I have not updated the register for a while, been busy rescuing damsels in distress.
