Ratarossa PROJECT REVEAL and Garage Update!!!

We went and visited our pal, Mr Scott Chivers aka Ratarossa for a bit of a garage tour and general catch up.
A few months ago we struck a deal with Scott which saw us swap his 348 for a bunch of very, VERY special parts. Scott was kind enough to officially, for the first time ANYWHERE, officially reveal his next build.
Lots of you will have an idea of what the car is...but perhaps not what the actual plan is. Well, Scott tells all in this video!!!
We also got a chance to have a look at his new unit, the original Ratarossa, his 308, 456, 328 and 512 BBi - all in all an excellent day with the nicest guy on KZbin!
We're super excited to see how the next build goes...let's just say we sourced parts for Scott that simply don't exist ANYWHERE else on earth.
If you need parts, we should be the first place you head to ;)

F40!!! The suspense is killing me he's been teasing for a while now so excited to see

[@mathiasnkristensen]

For a while? It's been years.

[@westboundbadger]

@@mathiasnkristensen Been looking for one for years and then it was going to be a replica but now its the real thing.

[@mathiasnkristensen]

@@westboundbadger No. It's not going to be a legit F40. Scott doesn't just have millions to spend on a car. He has been transparent for a long time and have said that he can't afford an F40, but wants to make a replica.

[@RollingRoadEFI]

@@mathiasnkristensen It is a legit F40......

[@FoRmaTiTo]

@@RollingRoadEFI Exactly. Notice him saying "this is numbers matching from the car I've bought". So, real deal.

[@DrBeaver]

Excited that Scott got lucky to build a real F40 and did not go with the tribute to F40 route! Dreams come true! Thanks for this interview, @eurospares! All the best to Scott!

[@poplaurentiu4148]

OMFG.. GARAGE BUILD - F40 LM... HELL YEAHHH - SCOTTY !!!! HIS CHANNEL > IS GOING TO BE CRAZZYYY !!!

[@sidewayssam]

live last night

[@conniebenny]

Excellent video. I love Scott's channel; it's my favourite on KZbin, but he hasn't posted a new video for 2 months and I was beginning to worry about him. Good to see he's alive and well, and can't wait to see his new videos... whenever they're posted.

[@Toewan2]

Yeah, I love his unique Ratarossa (which he should keep this way in my opinion, don't paint it) and I really like his driveway maintenance videos. Changing belts on a driveway where most of the people would bring their car to a specialist. Looking forward to new content of Scott.

[@callyk5678]

If this f40 turns out like the 360 challenge convertible that’s going to be an amazing car. I hope he’s banking a ton of videos as I’ve really missed the content!

Good one! I wonder how many people get it? Or, if you actually meant this literally?

[@davealderman7247]

So exited to watch this build

[@kwood1493]

This just keeps on getting better!!!

[@waymanbarneyawesomecardude9561]

Great to see you back, and can't wait for the project F40

[@UKBUILT]

I've been waiting for this one 😍 Glad to see plans coming together 😁 I'm building a V12 supercar 😎

[@ianjones7486]

Some great news there and I can't wait to see Scott get stuck into the F40 build. That 512 is just getting so close and I hope that he gets to keep it when finished because the work on that is exceptional.

[@sirremusrobinson1070]

Maaannn Scott I'm all in for it bro!! Matter of fact all of your projects I've been all in for them going back to the Orange and Black 308! Been had my notifications on for your channel! Great channel Eurospares!!

[@colindavis8579]

Scott’s edging game is on point

[@Chuck__Finley]

Can’t wait for this build to be revealed! So excited to see what car it is!

[@rugu6869]

So happy I stumbled on this video! I am over the moon happy for Scott that he found an actual F40 that he's able to rebuild. It's so exciting. This is huge and we had to search for the inside scoop. I imagine is that he's already got a buyer for the BBi project along with some of his other cars to fund the, dare I say, the LM build (instead of the F40 build). Now, he just needs to finish up the BBi and the 328 and get them moved along, finish up the Stradale refurbish and on to the LM build. YAHOO!!!

[@brianweekes1]

Very very cool! Been following Ratarossa for quite a while.

[@johnhopkins4920]

Time for a restraining order? Just kidding. Same here.

[@ibud1300]

Nice! Scott finally got his F40! Happy to see the guy doing all right and looking forward to the new video's.

[@joetrentmann--N0JVW--4REF1]

Outstanding! Thanks for the insider info. Been dying to know Scott’s vision after all the hidden F40 hints. Can’t wait for this build and to see a future visit to Eurospares. Tnx for the behind scenes!

[@stephengraham6194]

Can’t wait for this project

[@DPCTechnology]

EPIC Teaser!! Been waiting for Scott to spill all the beans for 12 months!!!

[@eurospares]

Just you wait - this will be the best build on KZbin. Scott came to play 😎

[@DPCTechnology]

@@eurospares 😍

[@pm1104]

Oh please just get on with ONE project ! 😂

[@asdmuzak]

like goonzquad, never 100% finished

[@jeffalexander4513]

Let's go!!! Super excited with the future of Ratarossa

[@cunrah]

I came from Scotts channel, Sick video! Nice to see some behind the scenes!

[@markobrien2275]

Ratarossa channel is THE best channel on KZbin. Deserves his channel to sky rocket

[@kealahau6727]

Last upload was 2 months ago so he won t take off like this

[@09juliancarr]

So I have been next to one of the 5 Evos in Japan. Amazing presence - and I was delivering an Apollo i.e. at the time!!!

[@kriskorsmo]

Cannot wait to see the F40

[@andrewnewsome1110]

The CAT is out of the bag….. awesome dude

[@randycreel1246]

I am ready for Scott to start posting videos again! I hope it is very soon.

[@sidewayssam]

live last night!

[@rolexmd69]

I’ve been watching Scott since before he had the rattasossa

[@richardlawton1023]

I delivered new Ferrari in the mis 80,s for a dealer in Newport RI. The testarossa went to Western mass after service..the 308 went to western Connecticut. I did tons of those. Best summer job i ever had.

[@UKBUILT]

I have the same size front wheels on my next build 18" x 12j. Turning radius is still an unsolved problem for me too😂 I am debating getting them rebarreled🤔

[@DMR777-p5o]

Fabulous guys

[@pasquale78]

The F40 LM project will gain as much traction as Tavares' P1 build, I guarantee.

[@hexodontist1610]

Great show. Nice to see you doing this together. PS I badly need a BBi exhaust, if anyone here sees smth - pleeeease 🙏🏽

[@OVB_NL]

THis is gonna be epic...on the level of Tavarish's P1 Evo! Bring it on!!!

[@alimyk]

So good to see this project taking shape. So good to see content again on this!!!!

[@NastyNick83]

Smiled throughout that interview. What a guy!

[@choppermarc2342]

Great video.

[@markpurcell7236]

The exhaust is the biggest giveaway 😊

[@clstravel]

Nice update...

[@borismasek1864]

Next big project after the F40 is 328GTS to become a 288GTO or a 288 GTO Evoluzione.

[@philipgreensmith1694]

Bin waiting sooooo long. Can't believe you've got your hands on a real one! Wow.

[@tourdetinus1743]

The Alfa Romeo SZ and RZ have the same clocks. If you can't find a genuine one. You probably find more parts from Ferrari in that car. Like bonnet opening mechanism, steeringcollum, switches and gauges. Good luck!

[@colinmorgan8641]

Great video! So pleased Scott is going for the LM variant. Saw their first race at LM in 1995. Love Eurospares - get all my Maserati GTS part from you. Keep up the great work!

[@Trapper50cal]

I'm most excited to see a finished 512 BBi - I think Scott's really going to like the finished product and the gravitas is going to be palpable.

[@Scirocco1973]

2 F-40 builds at the same time on YT? Love to see who finishes his first. @Stanceworks got a headstart I think.

[@studiolezard]

A perfect teaser. We can't wait to see more.

[@cramiro71]

Nice to hear you again. Amazing project, good luck. I will for sure follow this project

[@westboundbadger]

I'm sure for less than £10 G the Testarossa could get a respray and a soft top conversion then sell it for a shedload more !

[@paulbinding7111]

It costs more than £10k to get a decent paint job these days, even on an "average" classic 😢

[@westboundbadger]

@@paulbinding7111 With his contacts he will not be spending £10 G on paint.

[@RoryDevlin-lx6qg]

This is surely any true car fans dream series - heading our way!🎉

[@RoryDevlin-lx6qg]

The F40 build ❤️❤️❤️

[@aaddoes4230]

All looks very tidy and organized

[@Duell-850R]

Epic. 🎉 can’t wait till this gets underway.

[@malcholden5357]

F50 LM parts. I wonder what this project is? Nice to see you again Scott. There’s been a mahusive gap in my KZbin list of recent.

[@PaoloRusconi84]

Excited to see what comes next!

[@bengraham6672]

Im buzzing for this one, mate! You definitely made the right move, holding out for a genuine F40

[@Czechbound]

I would put the strongest security door available on that unit, and reinforce the back and side walls.

[@poplaurentiu4148]

Some pitt-bulls in the garage yard for any curious soul..

[@dsetter608]

Totally geeking out with you guys over the boxes of F40 parts.

[@reycaballero2462]

This F40 build has been blue balling since it was hinted awhile ago... i cant wait to watch it...

[@MichelKok]

Can't wait to see more of this project. Did you hear StanceWorks is also building an F-40? Would be great to see you cooperate on this but a battle for parts would also be glorious.

[@MachineGunMike]

So sick dude. Gonna make my CS look lame. Haha.

[@Elberoth]

The longest run I did in an F40 (in the standard seat) in one go was over 200km / 4h. They are REALLY very comfortable. After 4h you are completely deaf, but your back feels fine, lol.

[@RedLP5000S]

Scott's going all out on an F40LM build?! Fantastic!

[@richardsmith9509]

Scott , WTF is LEV-AH.....could it be like LEATHER??????

[@SkylarkCamperAdventures]

The label on the black box is the biggest clue...says F40!

[@poplaurentiu4148]

Yeahh.. but he builds a different beast based on that inside garage - LM version.. Just like Enzo started Scuderria Ferrari F1- team mechanics & technicians called : Garragisti mechanics.. Scott will be one of those specialists to assembly the beast ( if he is not already in disguise )..

[@hrcvf7505]

Scott, where have you been? I haven't seen you post in months!

[@brettl88]

Cool video! Thanks to EuroSpares for helping me with my own project.

[@daveglover6115]

Thanks for the update Scott - please please can you not take the BBi engine to Iain Tyrrell or Barkaways for it's rebuild! It would be both great for either channel, including your's to have such more great content. Just a suggestion...

[@paulmanta]

Scott needs a sponsor who does parts racking !

[@rolexmd69]

Holy cat shit Scott! It’s about friggin time brother. Been waiting years now for the LM son! Hurry up

[@michaelkoloc-jx6kv]

Good on ya, you lucky bugger!!! 👏🇦🇺🏎️👍

[@ozeskiman]

Back in the beginning of the new millennium I was at a Ferrari club track day with my 355. One of the members had an F40LM. I’ll never forget the sound it made down the main straight at Calder. Where is that car now?

“We’re rebuilding an F40 to LM Spec using genuine parts”

[@poplaurentiu4148]

[@godwindracing6056]

I thought seeing the cars in your website, how about contents about them and how they got there - this is because I seen a Testarossa that has 37k miles and the website doesn’t explain much about the car

[@johnp4673]

How do I get a surplus 328?

[@mcbobly]

The one thing I dislike most about any “spyder” is with the top down you can’t see the incredible engines.

[@Azraelfromgamefax]

love Ratarossa. Miss the (non Tesla) vids

[@TomSheldrake]

Just as Mike @ Stanceworks publicly announces he's also building an F40

[@d1specdrifter]

🎉😮i miss my red 308. Wish i still had it. I only paid $10k usd for mine,at the time.

[@williams4434]

New project = check back in 5 years

[@FRENZY355]

Please tell him to get some second hand warehouse pallet shelving so he can store all those parts nealty and safely.

[@angusmackay7281]

Does the 328 become a GTO replica?

man i would of fixed that up, made a roof and sorted out the body and resprayed it

[@evansmith2279]

Was this the F40 that burned in Monaco a few years back?

[@Ratarossa]

no that has actually been rebuilt now .... not me

[@kavinskysmith4094]

Umm it might cost as much as the damn car, but he needs to give the V12 to Tyrrell, of Tyrell's classic cars as someone who did a 2000 horsepower RX8 kinda means he's used to way too modern stuff, as these used a K bosh fuel injection system, which thanks to that has a milder cam than what you would find on a 356 or a non BBI car, and the valves, the valve lash, the oil and everything else that it will require, plus he would know how to tune it, keep it within spec, and what weaknesses the engine had from standard that might have caused the thing to fail in the first place worst part is, I bet i know what the compression probably was, a dicky fuel rail, like something was letting air by, or something wasnt machined right, as ferrari in this era was just getting into fiat ownership and everything was in a downturn thanks to the gas crunch its why the 308 was such a godsend, it was able to meet emissions, not use that much gas and still be fun, while offering comparable power to the cars that ferrari was putting out 30 years earlier like if anything at the very least, he should send it to the guy who was able to mend and figure out what was wrong with the 308, just for a preliminary, as it could be something insanely simple also Sodium such and so with the valves, I think these cars had the dicky valves, Ian Tyrell Said that when talking of the testarossa like the valves were made of magnesium, and could break like he needs to send it to a proper professional, as its already broken when new once

[@PaulMathias1]

That 512 needs finishing
