Judge and New England Concours d'Elegance Grand Marshal
Wayne’s zeal for cars began when he was a child, working alongside his father on Duesenbergs, Lincolns, Packards, and Model A Fords. At the young age of nine, he went for his first ride in a 1960 Ferrari Rosso Chiaro 250 SWB, and his life was forever changed. He was bitten by the Ferrari bug. Automobiles have been his passion and life’s work ever since.
Wayne learned the art of Ferrari restoration from his mentor Francois Sicard, a former racing mechanic widely considered to be the foremost Ferrari expert on the East Coast. Wayne's good friend Luigi Chinetti Jr., whose father Luigi Chinetti Sr. won the 1949 24 Hours of Le Mans for Ferrari and opened the first Ferrari dealership in the United States, has also been an invaluable influence.
Wayne owns and operates three companies in Portland, Connecticut: F40 Motorsports specializing in the sale and purchase of vintage and classic automobiles, F40 Restoration, where award winning restorations are performed. Also Carini Consulting where Wayne consults with collectors on buying, selling and maintaining there collections as well as people that are looking to starting a collection for the first time.
He recently published “Affordable Classics,” in which Wayne and his friends selected 25 different collectible classics from around the world, each with a detailed and illustrated profile that includes the history of each car, what’s it like to drive, and what to look out for if you’re in the market. From the Aston Martin DB7 to the Fiat 124 Spider, you’ll get the insider’s view of what to look for – and what to look out for.
