    Hi, I have a 550 Maranello and it's in need of new cambelts. I don't trust/want to use the Ferrari dealer in Bordeaux or Toulouse, and some years ago Mondial owner Journiacois mentioned he knew of a local garage near him (near Saint-Cyprien) whose owner had three Ferrari's himself, so probably knows a thing or two about them. Does anyone know who this is and how do I contact him? Any suggestions gratefully received. I'm near Terrasson, between Brive-la-Gaillarde and Périgueux.

    Were you thinking of Claude Feniou? Yes, he officially retired a couple of years ago. Super bloke. Or was there someone else?

    This is the reply I got, you need a translation or your French is good enough ?? Are you the English guy living at Thenon ?

    " il y a 2 St Cyprien , 1 en Dordogne entre Sarlat etBergerac ,

    et 1 autre en Correze tout petit entre Ayen et Objat , pas loin de Terrasson , entre Brive et Périgueux , ça doit ètre celui là ,

    il y avait un garage à l'entrée de Terrasson qui entretenait des sportives , dont une 550 d'un anglais de Thenon ,

    il avait à une époque assemblé des kits de GT40 , je l'ai connu par LIR24 du forum qui entretenait sa Lotus ,

    il est à la retraite mais m'avait dit qu'il continuerait à " rendre service " à ses anciens clients mais il faut lui fournir les pièces ,

    je pourrai l'appeler si besoin

    LIR24 m'a donné aussi le nom du garage Simonet au sud de Périgueux , Garage Simonet à Notre-Dame-de-Sanilhac

    qui est multimarques et qui lui a fait une grosse révision sur sa Mondial T , le patron serait un copain du chef d'atelier de Ferrari Bordeaux ?

    pour la dernière révision de ma Mondial 3.2 je suis allé chez Gire à Angoulème spécialiste ses sportives

    car il fallait trouver pourquoi la consommation était trop importante ,

    le problème c'est pour l'aller et le retour depuis Brive il faut 2 voitures ou blablacar"

    Yes, I guess so. We've used the talents of Claude Feniou at Terrasson for years, but he retired a couple of years ago and since then only used him for relatively simple jobs. I was hoping to identify someone in a succession plan that I could use for bigger jobs long-term. However, it seems that your friend's most informative reply suggests I should gently ask Claude if he'd be prepared to do the belts and other work on the 550, as all the others are 45 minutes + away. I'll drop Claude an email.

    Hi Russell,
    I hope you get what you need and the 550 is fine.
    Are you often in the area? I am sometimes at Hautefort, a beautiful castle and village.

    best
    Pierre
