1947 Ferrari Corsa Spyder, oldest complete Ferrari in existence.

At the Oregon Coast Exotic Car Show we were all fortunate enough to get a up close and personal tour of one of the rarest cars in existence, the oldest complete Ferrari, the 1947 Ferrari 166 Corsa Spyder owned by a James Clark from Vancouver, WA. His father originally bought it for $3800 and passed it on to his son who spent years restoring the car. It truly is a pristine example of how a vintage car should be restored and he plans to pass it on to his son who has already promised to keep it perfect. It is beautiful (and LOUD) machinery.

Part One of Three.

From a friend:

"A couple SEMAs ago, we stumbled across a carbon-fiber Lotus Exige that had our salivary glands working overtime. With Colin Chapman's ethos of "adding lightness" to his designs, it seemed like the perfect application of the super-strong lightweight material on an already featherweight Lotus sportscar. We've been hoping to see something similar on the road and it looks like we'll have to travel across the Pacific to check it out in person. Thanks to a tipster, we know now that there is at least one other CF-cloaked Lotus and it resides in Hong Kong with custodian Jimmy Wong.

TW Auto Limited, a Hong Kong Lotus and turbocharging specialist, built the car in about six months. As you'll see in the pics, carbon fiber coats the entire exterior of this Elise, along with almost every panel inside. Even if it only shaves about 80 pounds from the curb weight, it looks thoroughly sinister. We're digging the way it highlights the car's curves, particularly around the gas filler. Although the engine remains fairly stock, it does feature an upgraded air filter and intake, plus a Stage 2 Lotus Racing Exhaust. The car was also fitted with a KW Suspension and JP Racing Wheels."
