Yeah - if only he'd made it 1:1 scale

What I want to know is how the hell did he find the time to build that?

He must be single

This is basicly what some 70+ year old bloke in the US did back in the 70's. His car was a 1911 Simplex touring, it was about the same scale, .... & he made six of them. He had an original & he took the whole car apart to scale every part down.
The tyres were made by his personal friend, Harvey Firestone. They were mates since the mid teens apparently.
He did it so as to have something to do after his wife died.

Incredible work. A fully finctional motor to scale, transmission and all.

I bet Ferrari will pay top money for that piece to be in its museum. This guy is smart not only inteligencewise but financially as well.

He must be a millionare , but the recognition he could get if Ferrari gets interested would be most rewarding.

Sounds like it would fit well into a 1200.
