A True Labour of Love
Created by Pierre Scerri, this is an exact ⅓ scale replica of the Ferrari 312 PB that took 14 years to construct and was completed only from photographs and drawings of the real thing. It has a working V12 engine and gearbox, correct in every detail, which is started by an ignition key in the cockpit. M. Scerri even managed to find a scrap of the fabric used on the interior of the original car when he visited Maranello.
If you were one-third scale, you would be able to get in and drive it exactly as you would the real thing. Yes, read that again and just imagine what it took to teach himself the skills and techniques to make every single part, every tool and every mould by hand to an exact 1/3 scale and make it work. Suddenly, 14 years doesn’t seem such a long time.
