Anyone now from when/where Jeremy Clarkson did this?

I think it was from a documentary of some sort... Maybe Graywolf knows.

I saw the said car last year, a local Detroit man owns it, and has commissioned a second model (3rd) be made; a Ferrari P4 (and p4 spider) that he claims are even more detailed/accurate then the 312

Default Impress me...

When someone builds a working scale model of an Alfa Bimotore then I'll be impressed.

The engine: "It is fuel injected and a dry sump!"

I could be wrong, but if I remember rightly that was part of the Jeremy Clarkson/BBC series "Motorworld", which aired sometime in the late 90's (97 maybe?). I know a highlight video was released by the BBC but I've no idea if it was rereleased on DVD at all.

An amazing achievement though. I'd love to see a scale Mk.III or Mk.IV GT40, just to hear the scale V8!

That's an absolutely amazing car. He was really dedicated to getting that thing right. Ferarri should buy it from it him so it can be given a proper display.

I mentioned this in the other thread, but that car's displacement is not to scale. That's why the sound is so surprisingly good.
