Friday's Ferrari

This car competed in the Shell Ferrari Historical Challenge race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1998.
It's the 1959 Ferrari 250GT LWB Berlinetta TdF of Plinio Haas, which has the 2,952cc Gioacchino Columbo designed V12 engine common to most of the 250 series cars. Four series of the TdF, a total of 77 cars, were produced between 1956 and 1959 which were defined by the number of louvres in the sail panel between the side and the rear windows. The first series had no louvres, the second 14 louvres, next 3 louvres and finally a single louvre. Plinio Haas's car is chassis #1401GT, one of the last series with only one louvre.
