David Levy
David Levy, well known Australian Ferrari restorer, fabricator, and
enthusisast passed away on March 20th 2012 after a long fight with
Cancer. I met David during my visit to Australia several years ago, and
was astonished at the variety of Vintage Ferraris and fabrication
skills found in a suburban shop south of Sydney. I wrote about my visit
in two parts:
12/21/05: Sydney Ferrari Shop,
Part I
12/22/05: Sydney Ferrari Shop,
Part II
I was so excited to have found such a gem of a shop in Cronula, and it
wasn't until later I had learned from other friends of David that Levy
was in the midst of his battle with cancer during my visit. I had no
idea, and David showed no signs that the disease was going to slow him
down despite the prognosis.
David had a personal project that he worked on whenever he wasn't
working on customer cars, and it was something that really showcased
his skills as a multi-tallented craftsman.
Through the years, I've been keeping tabs in this project through
fellow Ferrari friends "down under" and most recently was sent these
photos from John Bishop of the completed car and the word that David
was proudly displaying his work at many Australian car shows.
I'm saddend to hear that was lost such a talented man, and I know he
will be missed by all of us.

Services will be held at the Sutherland Crematorium on April
4th 2012, at 9:00am.
