Ferrari Mailing List: Re: More news on my 400i

[francis newman (francis]

Hi Britt

He ended up as MD of the UK importer and after various take-overs and  
Ferrari deciding to set up their own Ferrari GB company 18 months ago  
he was retained as a consultant. Tony Willis is a great guy and is  
totally hooked in to the Ferrari heritage, which is not always the  
case with Ferrari these days. I can't tell you how pleased I am to  
have been able to put you in contact with him, and I'm sure you  
realise from his speed of response to you that he is genuinely  
interested in helping you with the heritage of your car.

I am thrilled just to have played a small part in this. Another  
article for the FOC Ferrari magazine looming I feel :-)

best

Francis
