Ferrari 308 V12 for auction.

[philw696]

Guys up for auction by Brooklands a one off 308 converted to V12 by Emblem at great expense its on ebay just to promote suction. Known as Mansells flyer interesting story as Ferrari would normally not allow conversion but did because of his F1 success. Worth a read Phil.

Wouldn't want to run one though.

Can you imagine doing 200mph in that?

 

[zagatoes30]

On most occasions 12 is better than 8 but not convinced with this one

Would love to do 200mph in everything

Have done 160 in my cars and can honestly say was pooing myself in many ways one being I could get sent to prison for this as considered worse than rape and pillage.

I wouldn't want to put 6.3 AMG engine in a Morris Marina because the base car wouldn't be able to best utilise the extra power. Same as this I reckon. Marginal suspension and brakes and sh!tloads of power. How could it end badly?

 

[philw696]

What's a Morris Marina Ian something you want to tell us ?

 

[Bigdar]

To be fair, who wouldn't want to see/drive a Morris conversion ?
There's more than an element of excitement (or danger) with that one.
I know I would
As for the Ferrari, I'm not sure.

 

[zagatoes30]

Morris Marina or piano stand as Top Gear call them

No mate, it was just a Morris/BL sh!tbox that superseded the Morris Minor. Never had one, never will. A hateful piece of cr4p.

 

[philw696]

Ah I remember you were the proud owner of a Montego Countryman.
