Quick buff and be as good as new
Bloody shame and hope it was properly insured as that would be a sore hit to take if they don't pay out for it

Never drive an Italian super car without an extinguisher. It'll get fixed.

Hope, during the resto, they replaced the fuel tanks, if they were out of date!?

Thats a bloody expensive game at around 20k.
Mate just done one and fitted alloy tanks.
Everyone should have a fire extinguisher including you Martin.....
Get the lifeline zero at around 70quid.

Can't remeber how long a life the tanks have, but remember quoting a couple when I worked there...
Stupid money, seem to remember people went aftermarket, but, if it was a concours car...?!

I thought about your project when I saw the title of this.
I bet that was an interesting call to his insurance!

thats one big insurance claim, and im sure they would seek fault into the company who did the resto!

On a serious note, I'd love to know who did the work!! Guessing a Ferrari 'specialist', rather than a main dealer....?
