Friday's Ferrari

This car was part of the Ferrari Feature at the Christie's International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1992.
It's a 1957 Ferrari 500 TRC Spyder with Scaglietti bodywork, and the programme of the event had this note about the car:

13     500 TRC
In-line 4-cylinder engine; 2 litres; 180bhp at 7000rpm;
ifs/double wishbones/coil springs; rigid axle rear/coil
springs. A development of the previous year's 500 Testa
Rossa, the TRC version was built to meet the 1957
Appendix C regulations and intended for customer use
only. This car owned by Austrian G Kochert was at the
1957 Le Mans, Kochert/Bauer, DNF and at the 1000
Kms that year where it won the Sport 200 Class for
Kochert.

One of 19 cars built, this Ferrari 500 TRC has the serial number 0686MDTR.
