Amen. What a piece of workmanship, from the basic design through to the final fit and finish.
A local shop does mainly Alfas. He and I have been FF competitors and good friends for about 25 years now. His father in law was a major lawyer in the area and collected Ferraris for quite a few years. They are funny. Tom has had most, if not all, of them at his shop for one thing or another over the years and some are absolute works of art and perfection, while others seem to be just thrown together. The fit, finish and general quality also seems to have little to do with their current value.
My best desription is some models seemed to be thought out as primarily race cars and fitted out to make a buck selling them for the street, while others were to be first class road cars from initial concept.
