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 offers peek into Alfieri concept's design

Mon, 24 Mar 2014

This year marks Maserati's hundredth anniversary, which means we'll be spending the rest of 2014 talking about all the company's planned celebrations. The Alfieri Concept, shown at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, though, is quite possibly the most noteworthy part of the brand's centennial.
Named after one of the company's founder, Alfieri Maserati, the coupe is a striking piece of design, although it did manage to fall short of earning a spot on our editors' choice list for the Geneva show (we blame this more on the number of exciting products at the show rather than any shortcoming of the showcar).
In this video, Maserati Centro Stile designers take us through the process of penning the Alfieri, from the car it was inspired by, on to the actual process of designing the car. Fans of automotive design won't want to miss this video. Take a look below.

Singapore car salesman jailed for gambling away $280k Maserati deposit

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

Kenny Rogers' country classic The Gambler is right about two things: you gotta know when to hold'em and know when to fold'em. A former Maserati salesman in Singapore is learning that lesson about when to step away from the table, after being sentenced to 33 months in prison for allegedly gambling away a customer's deposit of 350,000 Singapore dollars ($280,800).
According to Asia One, Allan Tan Buan Yuen was selling a Maserati in 2011. He told the customer that the car would take six months to arrive and cost 650,000 Singapore dollars ($522,000). While that may sound high, cars in the Asian country are notoriously expensive.
Yuen asked for a deposit of 150,000 Singapore dollars ($120,400), but instead of handing the money to the dealer, he placed the funds in his own account. Apparently, the customer didn't notice, and over the next few months Yuen received an additional 200,000 Singapore dollars ($160,400) towards the car from him. Clearly, this ruse couldn't last forever, though. When the buyer eventually inquired about his Maserati months later, Yuen admitted that he had already gambled away the entire fortune.

Former BMW M boss and Maserati CEO killed in freak motorcycle accident

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

It's a tragic coincidence that on the same weekend the BMW M4 Coupe Concept was introduced in Monterey, one of the men most integral to BMW's M and Motorsports divisions, Karl-Heinz Kalbfell, was killed in England. Kalbfell, a vintage motorcycle enthusiast, was set to compete in the Lansdowne Classic Series at Brands Hatch and had an accident during a practice session. After going wide at Druids Corner and falling, he was hit by a competitor following close behind and died of his injuries after being transported to hospital.
Kalbfell, an engineer, began his career at BMW in 1977 in the communications department; a decade later he was chairman of BMW M GmbH, overseeing development of some of the cars responsible for the myth of M. In 1994 he was named chairman of BMW Motorsport, and his cap full of feathers includes getting the BMW V12 into the McLaren F1, getting the BMW V8 into two Morgan cars, along with developing BMW's Formula One engine and return to the sport. Not incidentally, he also assumed leadership of Project Rolls-Royce after BMW bought the British marque in 1998, which means he oversaw the Goodwood factory upfit and the creation of the Phantom.
He left Rolls-Royce for a brief stint at Fiat, heading Alfa Romeo and Maserati, then went into consulting for clients like Lotus and Paragon, who built the Artega GT. As Autocar notes, Kalbfell "had an abiding sense that customers needed to be attracted to cars by their aura and reputation, not just their engineering." He will be missed.
