Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Mille Miglia on HDTHR

Wayne Carini... He's a great guy who knows his feces! He did a lot of work 

on a Daytona I used to have.

Interesting that we hadn't heard about this before. I think our own Big
Head is or was a customer of F40 Motorsports. Sounds like a neat show. I
need to get my dish re-pointed so I can get the rest of my HD content...

Hi all -
I upgraded to digital TV last year and this month bought a HD Plasma TV
- when browsing the in screen menu I was tanatlized by the HD channels
unavailable to me since I didn;t spring for the HD box - finally a
channel called HDTHR kept showing program titles I could resist no
longer.  Got the HD box and curently there are 2 very interesting
programs - a 2 hour documentary about the Mille Miglia and a regular (I
think) called "Chasing Classic Cars" about a guy who owns a place called
F40 Motorsports in Ct - he travels around the US buying and selling
classic and sports cars.  Christmas day brought a marathon of programs
and I saw a couple I had missed.  One was about a genuine bran find -
they pulled a 37 Bugatti from a barn also containing a Jag and RR - the
Bug was last licensed in 1962 NY - the owner said it had stayed in the
barn ever since 62.

It was taken to a big east coast auction and the F40 guy was bidding on
behalf of a customer of his.  It went to $750K before they dropped out.
The car was a "Type 57 Atalante" if my memory is correct - they didn't
even wipe the dust off - sold it exactly as it was found.  The new owner
intends to keep it that way - only respraying the wheels and some of the
fenders where the paint was long gone - saying it'll never be restored
as long as he owns it. Bravo!  The way it should be IMHO.

For Ferrari content - he also bought a 330 Coupe (not sure about the
numbers but it was late  60s) which was gorgeous - he took it apart - he
seems to do a lot of hands-on stuff according to the camera - and had it
re-painted in beautiful silver.  He also reunited a man with a Daytona
Spyder he bought new in 73 - then crashed heavily in it and the car was
totalled. While in the hospital the insurance co took possession and
evidently auctioned it - it was bought, properly repaired and showed up
in Az where Mr F40 found it and called his friend who had owned it - he
bought it and it was taken back to it's original color and the rest of
the car restored - the owner also owns a coupe in the same color so will
have a pair - a coupe and a spyder to display.

Anyway - the MM is a special program also - one of the best I;ve seen -
of course there's not many to choose from.  They had comments from S
Moss which were very interesting - he's always a character. ;-)

Anyway - hope everyone is having a great Holiday - Merry Christmas and
have a Happy New Year!

Sincerely,
