Rare 1976 Southern Roadcraft Ferrari Daytona Spyder Replica Kit One Of 105 Made on 2040-cars

Brand new Ferrari Daytona Replica kit. One of only 105 made. These kits were produced in the late 1980?s in the UK and were unusual because they included the frame. This kit has been in warehouse storage since the 1990s and includes a majority of the parts to build an accurate replica. In addition, the body is mounted to the rolling chassis. This is a list of the parts you will need to complete this kit to the best of my knowledge:

  • Jaguar XJ12 sedan donor vehicle for engine and transmission or an engine and trans from and XKE V12.
  • Fuel tank probably from an XJ12 or XJ6 (I believe I have the sending units)
  • Convertible top and frame. The top frame is likely off an existing British roadster.

The vehicle would be rather impressive with six downdraft Weber Carbs installed on the V12 motor. This conversion is recommend. The second choice is to install a Chevy 350 crate built motor. At one point, John’s Cars (I believe) in Texas offered conversion kits to install Chevy motors and transmissions in Jaguar V12 vehicles. The same kit, if still available, could be used in this vehicle. What is included with the kit.

What is included:

  •  Assembled factory chassis with front and rear suspension installed
  • Steering rack installed, steering column installed
  • All road springs front and rear installed
  • Alloy wheels and tires
  • Differential installed
  • Body installed
  • Doors, fenders, hood and deck lid
  • Glass and all guts for doors
  • All electrical components, i.e. lights switches, gauges, etc. included exclusive of the engine (all relays, a wire harness, complete interior, carpeting, inner and outer door handles, stainless steel exhaust system and windshield.)

These parts are all brand new as is the car body, chassis, suspension etc. The vehicle is currently in warehouse storage with layers of dust sitting from the 1990?s. I will post a picture shortly. The vehicle can only be seen on weekends. If you are overseas we can help with transport to the New Jersey docks. Please note there is no title to this vehicle as it is a kit and you would probably use the Jaguar donor car title or register as a a Replica kit in most states. Again this is 1 of 105 made and not the common Corvette Replica kit. This has its own Chassis. Ferrari sued most of these kit car companies to stop production so production was discontinued by most if not all the replica manufacturers. The expense to produce this kit today would be immense and costly. This is an opportunity to build a great replica of a Daytona Ferrari

Maserati Quattroporte suits up with Ermenegildo Zegna [w/video]

Wed, 11 Sep 2013

You know what no one has ever said? The Maserati Quattroporte needs more Italian style. Just the same, Maserati has teamed up with Ermenegildo Zegna to give the QP just that.
Revealed here at the Frankfurt Motor Show is the (deep breath now) Maserati Quattroporte Ermenegildo Zegna Limited Edition Concept. And by "concept", Maserati means it intends to put it into production, likely with very few tweaks over what you see here.
So what do you see here? A QP in a business suit, to sum it up. It's got a beautifully deep bronze paintjob and an interior with the finest wool textile and soft leather upholstery. The lustrous paint repeats on the wheel spokes, and of course some discreet Zegna badges inside and out. The fashion house also worked up some special fitted luggage, as you can see from our gallery of high-resolution photos from the show floor, along with the stock shots, a video and a press release below.

Maserati returns to Indianapolis to commemorate historic win

Tue, 27 May 2014

This past weekend was Memorial Day weekend, folks, and you know what that means: racing. There was the Monaco Grand Prix for Formula One fans, and back Stateside there was the Indianapolis 500. You might expect to see a name like Maserati pop up at the former more than the latter, but that wasn't always the case.
These days its all about Dallara chassis powered by Chevy or Honda, but over the course of a century there have been plenty of foreign automakers that have won the Greatest Spectacle in Racing. McLaren won it twice in the 1970s, Mercedes and Peugoet won during the race's pre-WWI infancy, and in between them Boyle Racing won it two years in a row with a Maserati chassis and engine.
The car was the Maserati 8CTF "Boyle Special," and its first win came 75 years ago. So to mark the occasion (as well as Maserati's 100th anniversary), the car was brought back to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for a revival lap. Unfortunately Wilbur Shaw, who won the Indy 500 three times (twice in the Maserati) and went on to be president of the speedway, died in a plane crash the day before his 52nd birthday in 1954. So in his place fellow three-time winner Johnny Rutherford took the wheel of the 8CTF in front of the gathered crowds.

Maserati Ghibli revealed ahead of Shanghai debut

Tue, 09 Apr 2013

We knew it was coming, and here it is: the 2014 Maserati Ghibli. Maserati's plan of selling 50,000 cars per year by 2015 starts with the Ghibli, which will be positioned in a more volume-friendly market against the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5 Series. The Ghibli will make its official debut later this month at the Shanghai Motor Show.
Although our first look at Maseati's newest sedan is limited to just three images, we can see that the car will have a sportier exterior design than its bigger brother, the Quattroporte, to go with an equally luxurious interior. Under its long, sleek hood, Maserati has confirmed that the Ghibli will utilize a pair of 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 engines - one gas and one diesel - both mated to eight-speed automatic transmissions. A rear-wheel-drive configuration will be standard, and the Italian automaker's new Q4 all-wheel-drive system will be available.
Scroll down for the brief teaser press release.
