Do I recall correctly that Rimmer Bros offers an F40 Ferrari bodyshell kit
conversion for the TR7 chassis? Once again, I should keep some of my TR
material at the office.....

Cheers, JD

        I saw the article too and can't remember where. The guy had created
a
        "special body" for his car and it ended up looking very much like a
vintage
        Ferrari. When he pulled onto the field they directed him to park
with all
        the real Ferrari's, after which he stood off to the side and
listened to
        people's comments about the car. There was even a series of pictures
showing
        his car parked there.

        I haven't submitted anything to the list in the last few months
because I
        felt a little chastened after the great "bio bash".  Seems some of
the
        members felt that that strayed too far away from what the list is
all about,
        so, as I've had no opinions about recent issues (and THAT's a hell
of an
        admission!), I've just been lurking.  However, I was talking
recently to a
        friend about a visit I made to Road America for one of their Chicago
        Historic Sports Car Club (I may have the name wrong, but you know
who I
        mean) vintage meets.  I am sure that I saw a TR3 in among a bunch of
vintage
        Ferraris, painted Ferrari red and evidently raced by that team.  I
have
        always wondered why this car was with that group (Ferraris and TRs
are chalk
        and cheese).  Does anybody know if I actually saw this, or was I
dreaming?
        This was probably ten years ago.  I know there was an early Ferrari
that
        VAGUELY resembled a TR, but this was not one of them - I'm sure it
was a
        TR3.  Anybody got any clues?
