    I always thought it was a replica of a ´61 156F1.

    I don't know what it is anymore. There's talk about 328 running gear etc. Weird. They do talk about "sharknose" which of course was a 156F1 and not Dino 196SP.

    Rea had both a 156 F1 and a 196 SP Dino reconstructed for his movie "La Passione".

    Does Coys have anyone working there who speaks English? I cannot believe how poorly that description is written. It almost looks like it was intentionally written to mislead??

    Rea's other car built for the film was a 330 rebodied as a 250TRI/61, not a 196SP.

    The 'Sharknose' replica was built with a Hewland box and a fiat Dino 2.4L engine; I think Terry Hoyle was fitting a 120-deg V6 engine in it but it's not shown on his new website.
