| "The
hard top was painted metallic blue to match the body
and had a perforated white liner, and the soft top was
black cloth. The car featured a 168/61 engine (late
model) with 128E late model heads, 3 - 40mm webers (40
DCL/6,) a 9.2 compression ratio and an Abarth Lusso
128F late model exhaust system. It was later fitted
with "sport" cams. While the "build
sheets" show it as a 1961, it was registered as a
1962, not a '61. Other features of the car were
a semi-locked rear axle with 8x32 gearing, Koni
adjustable shock absorbers, a heavy duty clutch and
disk brakes all around. The original wheels were
Borrani center locking polished aluminum wire wheels
with chromed spokes & hubs in original size 15 x 5
1/2-RW fitted with 185 x 15 tyres. These tyres were
later changed to 205 x 15. A burglar alarm had
been installed with a "round" key located on
the rear deck below the trunk lid on the right hand
side. There was no radio. A feature unique to that car
was a tab I had welded onto the accelerator pedal
giving it the shape of a reverse "L" to aid
in heel-and-toe shifting when driving at high speeds (there
were no speed limits in Europe at that time!) The car
was maintained by Garage Montchoisy in Geneva, Switz.,
the Ferrari Concessionnaire (more specifically by the
chief mechanic named "Chequin"). The rear
axle was re-built and the engine tuned by Piero Drogo
in Maranello in 1967 (the Ferrari factory sent me
"down the street" to him since he was
working on their racing cars at the time) and later,
in 1968, when I moved to England, the engine swallowed
a valve and "holed" a piston and was rebuilt
by Maranello Concessionaires, Ltd." |
