450s, 'The Monster' as it was known.

Fabulous car, is there any chance of getting an Italian engine in this one, was it not a derivative of the Bora V8?

Suppose the easiest and cheapest route would be a 4200 Manuals running gear maybe as you could pick that cheap?

It would be ideal if possible. The criteria would be cost/ reliabilty/ and value at the end. However what I might do is effectively 'sell' the car before its built. That way, any prospective purchaser could spec the mechanicals depending on the size of his/her wallet.

Not sure if this will work, here goes

Hmm. not ideal, but you should get the idea.

Really sorry to hear that the 250 is going Andy, but if it makes the 450 a real possibility, then it's not all bad. Didn't know you made 360 exhausts. Do you do others also?

pretty much anything. That was the main business. I've got jigs for most ferraris in the last 20 years, the rest are made to measure. I worked with Graypaul last year to develop the 458 race systems. Won the championship, although I suspect the guy who won it could have done so running on 5 cylinders. it will be sad to see the 250 go, however, for me the fun/challenge is in the building. The 450, if I can do the deal, will be a great challenge.
