did Ferrari ever have a connection with . . .

Campagnolo? because today i was passing the local Ferrari dealer, they have a lovely Dino currently for sale, £360,000 just incase you were wondering, and is available on the Meridian Modena website as a click and collect option!

but anyway, i took a few pics to show my dad when i spotted the centre caps on the wheels.

Campagnola wheels are a thing on this era Ferrari. They even make “replica “ ones as proper ones are expensive. No idea if it’s the same company as cycle components but I’d assume so.

Campagnolo's Car Wheels Used to Seriously Kick Ass

Campagnolo's 40802 car wheel was just dubbed "the coolest wheel in history." You probably didn't even know it existed.

... a connection with Mountain Cycle? Sure: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/92-mountain-cycle-san-andreas-resurrection.454736/post-3338029

 

[jonnyboy666]

is that an actual real connection? or something you did?

 

[foxb13]

Something that I've undone, in fact. I bought it as-is, dressed like a Ferrari. But I don't think there ever was a connection between Ferrari and San Andreas. The Selle Italia Novus (Ferrari engineering) is legit, though.

It was a well known fact Campag had "mastery" concerning AL forging / work for a period.

I have heard the car wheel connection before. There is also a NASA connection too.
