I have always wanted to share this with the forum but could never find the pictures! Found them on a backup drive. This is a reasonably well known car that has spent all its life bar one year in SA and was owned for a long time by a great of SA Motorsport.
A friend of mine bought the car in 2013 after years of wanting one and we drove the car around a bit but he wasn't happy and so begun a full restoration.
The car had spent most of its life being red and we assume that was its factory colour, right at the beginning I made contact with a renowned Ferrari historian who confirmed that the car was in fact originally metallic blue. My other passion is Ferrari so I was tasked with doing research and sourcing parts to an extent, the restoration itself was carried out by a foremost Ferrari expert in SA.
I'll try keep up dating this thread periodically.

Re: Ferrari Restoration
That’s a pretty decent project and must be worth a decent packet.
Though everyone told
Me you could never go wrong with a Ferrari and I managed to loose over R100k in a year in one.
It now also seems the inflated bubble on clsssic 911’s has come to an abrupt halt!

Re: Ferrari Restoration
I think there is a market correction of sorts happening at the moment. The is realisable value versus how quickly one can realise that value.Burnthosetyres wrote: ↑Mon 07 May 2018, 06:33That’s a pretty decent project and must be worth a decent packet.

This Daytona was essentially bought pre the huge rise in values.
