Mostly British II
My tour continued with Fred Petroski's Mostly
British. Even though it was mostly British,
there were shelves of Ferrari parts mixed in.
In his wheel room I found a couple of sets of Borranis along with
alloys for some of the V-8 Ferraris.
In a second building I found several Ferrari 2+2 bodies in various
states of dismantling. I wish I had more time to crawl over
these cars to find PF numbers. I tried to look for some in the obvious
places, but wasn't too successful. It's a good thing I'm up to date with
my tetanus shots!
A third building had even more interesting stuff including this pretty
straight 250GTE. It has lost it's drive train already, but is too nice
to end up in the other building with all the cut up cars. Fred is
thinking of making some kind of "bitsa" Ferrari with the pieces he has
in his collection, but until then, she waits.
Petroske is always buying and selling parts. He recently picked up this
mystery transaxle, but has not been able to figure out what it belongs
to. There are no obvious markings. I told him that this website
attracts some pretty knowledgeable people, and perhaps some sharp eyed
viewer might know where it belongs.
It has inboard Dunlop brakes, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's of
British origin.
If anyone knows what this is, e-mail
me.
