Morrari (yes it is the contraction your thinking)

[sammm]

"'Morrari'. It started out as a works Ferrari 555 Super Squalo F1 car. By the mid-60s, it was an old outdated racing car, so its owner, Garth Souness, shortened the wheelbase, fitted a small block Chevy V8, and drapped a low-light Morris Minor body over the top."

Raced in the "All Comers" class in NZ.

Amazing! Let's see a modern replica done with a 1990s Ferrari F1 car and an Astra! ;D ;D

That's nuts! Not sure how to feel about that one, a bit of me is saying right on man. The other bit of me feels a twinge of sadness at thinking of a squalo being cut up.

[sammm]

Word is the chassis is now back under a restored Ferrari if that makes people feel better.

Kewlio. Still a cool looking beast as a morrari i gotta say.

Love it! I dare say the Squalo wasn't all that special at the time it was chopped up? A bit like hacking up a 1991 F1 car and putting it in a Fiat Croma - I doubt not all that many tears would be shed.

Does the Morrari still live? Please tell me it does!

[retrowagen1234]

thats what i was thinkin... but any forums ive seen mentioning it in the last hour . have been a bit lacking on info.... and the way it reads leads me to believe its lost

[Anglia68]

Real nice find Saammm. I remember reading about it in C&SC a year or so ago. Borranis on a Minor are a good look! Needs to be done again ;D

[MK2VR6]

I prefer the Ferrari 250gt California over the Ovlov personally ;D
