Hi Theo,
45 DCO3's were used on 1957 Ferrari 500 TRC's. Ferrari made 16. I owned #702, twice. I do not think you will easily find 45's. 40's are expensive, but more common, if any of the DCO3 series is common today.
What will you use these on?
If you are thinking of 45 DCOE's, it's a whole different story.

Hi Gordon,
Thanks for the info, I want them for a friend he needs them for his C-type... infact that's a lie! - A man has a set of 58 DCO3s (last pair $45,000!) that he bought for his C-type but they're too large - he said he would swap them for a set of these 45s. But if you say they're gonna be harder to find than the 58s I might not bother!

Thanks for the knowledge

Theo

Theo,

Last pair of 40 DCO3 I saw on eBay fetched around £1300 GBP. If you're in the UK, contact Andy Heywood at Bill McGrath Maserati, as he knows a guy who is making repros of early sandcast Webers. Jim Stokes Restorations might know something too. Plenty of people in Europe who can help if you're patient (like this company). Good luck ...

Alex,

Brilliant stuff thanks a bunch for that. I contacted Rene at partscollector as I thought they would be the best candidate for such a rare request but yet to hear a reply. I'll get in touch with Bill Mcgrath

Thanks!

Theo

Hi again,

OK, thanks to those who helped but the 45's are near enough impossible to locate, but he would do it for 6 40 DCO3's. If anyone has some for sale let me know!

Thanks!

Theo
