Great effort, are you going to get it wrapped or stick with the white?
Stuart, that's fantastic! Well done, to you and all involved.
Dan! and I were poking round a few Ferrari race cars for sale up at Lancaster recently. It's interesting, but potentially financially ruinous, to know that conversion to road legality is achievable, with the right will and available talent and tenacity.
How does it sound?
I don't really know what to say but HUGE respect for undertaking such an arduous yet worthwhile project. It and must surely be the only Trofeo on the road globally? I know a few people have done the F430, 360 challenge and there is that FXX road legal but yet to see a Trofeo which is awesome as they are clearly the prettiest GT race cars. I really hope you see (and hear) the thing on the road sometime! Congratulations!
Best post on SM for many a year and such an enjoyable read.
Would love to know the total bill!
You should drop a line to EVO as I am sure this would make a great 3-4 page article.
Wow, definitely need to see (hear) some videos of that running!
Any idea what it weighs in its current form?
I saw your car at a car show a couple of years ago. Ebor's other car had just won the spa round of the British gt (having started at the back of the grid) but hadn't made it back in time for the show. The driver was matty graham and was only 21. I knew ebor weren't racing their cars any more and had seen them up for sale and wondered where they'd ended up. But for a lack of money and talent i might have picked one up myself.
Seriously though this looks like an epic project!
Brilliant job Stuart - very well played Sir!
Interestingly I had the very same thoughts and conversations with Angus at Ebor, Myles at Emblem and Dicky Grace. At that time the conclusion was that the risk of it failing to be road-registered was too high, so I chickened out and bought my Strad instead. I’m chuffed to learn that you took that risk and it has paid off.
You‘ll have to bring it to the Club AGM and concourse - it’s a shoe-in for the prize voted by the public, surely.
BTW, have Ebor still got the other one, as they offered me a choice of two?
If Evo aren’t interested Auto Italia will be all over that!
What an epic build/purchase Stuart!
Top work!
Total respect - awesome read........
A race car on the road, what’s not to love
so where did you get those road legal tyres ?
I’ve also asked my editor...If Evo aren’t interested Auto Italia will be all over that!

The more I think of it, this has Front Page Auto Italia written all over it! Take it to Brooklands you’ll get the track to yourself!Good shout Mark, cheers. I'll get in touch with them too
