I'm glad you're enjoying it. I wish I didn't live so far from my dealer as I'd be visiting every other day if I could. I'll keep updating as and when there is any significant progress to report.

An interesting point is that the After Sales/Workshop Manager there is very keen to get more involved with the older models as he said that the new cars (California, 458 and 599 together with the GranTurismo and later generation of Quattroporte) now require so little scheduled maintenance and are generally so reliable that the dealership needs to pull in other work. He's going to use my Dino as an example of the maintenance overhaul and bodywork/trim restoration services he can offer to potential customers. He apparently had 3 people ask to see my car today alone.
