Then it would take him 36 years to complete :lol: (I thought the same thing..if you are going to take 12 years to build something,might as well make the final product driveable :wink: )

That was my thought too. What kind of torture would that be to have a fully functional Ferrari 312PB sitting in your house, and know that you could never, ever drive it?

I think this guy got the idea right: http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2008/12/am ... v12-e.html

He built a Jaguar E-Type in his garage from a truckload of leftover parts. And he can drive it!
