Motor has been bored out to a little over 4L and a set of custom heads are on order. They are being made in Ireland of all places. The sound is unbelievable and my dad was able to drive it. Apparently the tires are a little on the narrow side for the power, but made for good fun. It was in the shop where my dad works to have a fuel cell installed for vintage racing.

I believe that is a Tipo 250 Testa Rossa -- aka Red Head. Note the red head on the engine. And I would not call that a "kit car" -- it is far too sophisticated than that. I would call it a recreation.

Very nice indeed. I have had the fortune to see an original up close & it is a way cool car.

Here is a pic....
