    From Kidston's Facebook page. Could it have been sold or is he just advising on the restoration?

    One of the most important- and rewarding- aspects of bringing a really special car back to life is historical research. Reuniting a unique Ferrari built for the most powerful man in ‘60s Italy with one of its original engineers- Pininfarina’s Leonardo Fioravanti- made a hot day very cool:) #ferrari #365p #treposti #supercars #v12 #italianstyle #dolcevita#gianniagnelli #1966 #classicdriver

    If I were the owner of this fantastic car (or any other Ferrari), I would NOT want this Classiche plate welded on the frame.

    It had no chassis number stamping. Hence the need for Classiche to authenticate the car’s identity and apply a chassis tag. Zero harm there, etc.

    As the car is now on English plates and was first registered in the UK in June (according to the DVLA) has it been brought by the same gentleman that owns the Agnelli Testarossa Spyder? It would make a great pair of cars if so.

    Also per the DVLA website it has the 4.4 litre engine and not the larger 5.0 litre engine that is being discussed on the thread on 8971

    was the large rear spoiler original? it seems to “spoil” the lines.

    Interesting how all (or most ?) of the numerous repaints appear to have been done on top of each other.
    Hopefully the latest didn’t follow such “Earl Scheib”-type approach.

    Depends on how you look at it. History also have a price for some and removing the old paint, lead and filler might not always be necessary if the existing materials and metal is in acceptable condition?

    Fair points, Peter, but in past 40 years, having (personally) restored numerous vintage cars, extensively worked on dozens more and being known to take historical documentation somewhat seriously, I think any restoration effort, be it on the entire car, any of its components or portion should be extensively (photo-) documented before & throughout the project.

    I also know that on some (rare) occasions it may be beneficial to leave previously performed repaints or repairs alone and perhaps just build on them, but in general and especially in cases of repaints for older/vintage cars, it more often than not appears to be caused by financial, rather than historical or practical concerns.

    Besides, some of the details on shared photos of our subject don't necessarily inspire full confidence in previously performed multiple repaints in past 50+ years being a good foundation for yet another, but OTOH, not my car or job...

    ...and perhaps the intent wasn't to fully restore the car, but rather just refreshen it again ?

    leaving a patch of the original color unpainted might be of use in the future.
    how much skim bondo was used at the factory? did did either scag or penin use more or less bondo?

    I wish I had kept all my articles! I did one on this car when owned by FOC member Dave Kopf. Quite a thrill ride. I seem to recall that it had an electric clutch to accommodate Agnelli's gimpy leg. Or am I dreaming?
