Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Sexiest looking red Ferrari?

[Gavin Bedggood (gavinnz]

Came in in 1986... was owned my the owner of New Zealand independant Ferrari 
service agents for a long time.
He did the upgrades.  Also did the heads, valves, suspension, bushes and a 
lot of the things that can go wrong over time...
then it was owned by another chap who had it serviced and the main agents, 
had a full bare metal respray done and anything that needed doing he did it.

600 miles before I bought the car had a full dealer service... new cam 
belts, cam seals, crank seals, full carb balance and tune, air con recond 
compressorn and re gassed, suspension bushes replaced, wheel alignment, 
brake calipers and master cylinders rebuilt, front discs skimed, new 
battery, cooling system flushed, new front tyres etc etc!

I consider myself VERY fortunate to have bought this particular car as it is 
a very VERY well sorted example with only 60k miles on the clock.

Gavin
