Ferrari 312 PB Replica Model (Working Engine + Gearbox) (Video)

Video interview conducted by Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear.

A Telecom Engineer who had always wanted a Ferrari in his dining room but couldn't afford it decided to spend 20,000 hours and 12 years building his own fully operational replica of the Ferrari 312 PB.

He custom built every single part from custom built molds including valves, springs and all gearbox gears and workings.

He took hundreds of photos of the actual Ferrari 312 PB and translated them into Engineering drawings which took him 3 years to complete. It took him 5 years to reverse Engineer the 312 PB's engine and gearbox and as a result a fully working exact replica of the 312 PB's entire drivetrain.

	That is completely insane. I don't understand why he didn't make a full-scale instead. It's got to be more work to manufacturer those tiny functional parts.

	I don't understand why he's a telecom engineer!!!! Thats one hell of an artist.
