Friday's Ferrari

This car in the paddock at Oulton Park was one of the competitors in the Cheshire Building Society Allcomers race at the Richard Seaman Memorial Trophy meeting in July 1987.
It's Neil Corner's 1960 Ferrari Dino 246 F1 car which escaped Ferrari's annual demolition of obsolete Grand Prix cars at the end of that season and was sold to New Zealander Pat Hoare. It's the car with which Phil Hill won the 1960 Italian Grand Prix but was modified for Tasman Series racing with the 2½ litre F1 engine replaced by a 3 litre engine as used in the Ferrari 250 TR sports cars. The chassis number was changed from #0007 to #0788.
