Another reason why I visited the place was because I had an appointment made with someone from whom I bought some magazines and a brochure. The seller happened to be a brother of the founder of this company Italauto. Hows that? At the time Kees van Stokkum was running the shop he apparently had a customer who was potentially interested in a 4 doors Ferrari. As such he reached out to Robert Jankel to obtain a brochure with more detail about this car. So that's how he got ahold of this brochure.
When I was home again I found by surprise the letter was included with the brochure. So I'm including it here for completeness. Effectively it's mostly a Mercedes brochure with many unusual bespoke designs (to put it mildly). And it only contained one artistic drawing of the 4-door Ferrari.
I also met Kees van Stokkum and had a brief chat with him beforehand but then I was unaware of this story so I could not ask more detail about this Dutch customer having the interest for this specific model ...
For the true brochure with the 4-door details see this blog:
