Welcome to the club, feel free to search in the forum as there is a huge amount of information and post if you need help with anything!

Howdy from Prescott, Arizona USA!

I recently acquired this '69 Corvette based Ferrari Daytona Spyder.  It was part of the Alexander Harwick in Alabama collection, who had real Ferraris and other cool cars.  I've been a member of the Prescott Antique Auto Club since the late 1990s, my first vintage vehicle was a '48 Chevy pickup, currently own a '68 Chevy pickup.  I jumped on this because it's Chevrolet running gear, much like my pickup but with a shrink-wrapped body/frame, and it was about $2.5M less than the real thing.  When I committed to buying it, did a quick search and found this forum.  The first forum I ever joined was North American Motoring for MINI Coopers, I picked my forum name based on where would I rather be than in front of the computer, driving highway 89A over Mingus mountain to Jerome (when it's not clogged with tourists).  I waited until I got the brakes fixed, then took some glamor shots before announcing my arrival.  I'm also active on the Model Car Magazine forum (same name, similar website format), I'm an award winning model builder, so I'm excited to have a full-scale kit of a dream car that I built in 1993.  I'm also on Facebook, where I found this car via a contact who brokered the sale.

Should I start a new OT about me and my Robin Hood car?  I see we need tiny versions of photos, do I need to set up another account such as Flickr (which booted me and lost 12,000+ photos), to share larger photos?  Since I live on another continent (saw the map, need to learn how to pin my location), I don't expect to pay for benefits that don't work over here.  But I'm fine with supporting this club just because.

First car question: How many of these were built?  I know only 122 (125 other sources) Spyders were built in the 5 year run, and 16,663 Corvette Convertibles were built in just 1969.  So if only a handful of these were produced, it should be worth a billion dollars.

@alanrichey I believe Ivor is based in Somerset so he should be under Robbie 2B
