Yes, great guy. He runs a S2000 in historic Group Q. The PF was restored by Roelofs in Holland - very prestigious Ferrari shop. He also has a dark blue GTE done by them.
One of my favourite FChat lines. It’s obviously been tuned though. Only had 40 horsepower previously.
here you go mate, it was nice but a bit rough. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
John P up here owned a real one, don’t know that he ever brought it to Australian though. Silly signature here to annoy KIAI
Quite a few have been repowered with 6 cylinder Porker engines and brake/suspension upgrades which makes 'em a bit better.
Thanx Pete. BTW 'rough' probably means patina,something a genuine enthusiast would know everything about!
I'm always drawn to one of theses , the 1st of the GTO's , but it would need to be a factory fitted tri-carb manual....be happy days... Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
He did have one new (here it is ) at Riverside dragway in Melbourne where he made the finals for his class at the Nationals after a win over twice Australian Grand Prix winner ........whom? Only to be beaten in the final by a Plymouth hemi. David R told me once when he 1st came to Melbourne he hung around Dutton's in Burnley st Richmond , one day a mechanic took him for drive ...yep in the GTO, she had just had her heads ported and polished at Duttons ...small world.
