The Coys International
Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1997 featured a tribute to
Ferrari's 50th anniversary with a large display of cars.

This is the 1959 Ferrari Dino196S then owned by Viscount Cowdray (Michael Pearson) which is chassis #0776S and
originally had a 1,984cc V6 engine, but by 1997 apparently had a 2½ litre
engine. It's the only example of this model produced and was originally owned
by Luigi Chinetti, for whom the Rodriguez brothers Pedro and Ricardo drove the
car in the 12 Hours of Sebring Race, the Targa Florio and the Nürburgring
1000km Race in 1960. They were 7th in the Targa Florio but failed to finish the
other two races. It was at one time owned by Rob Walker, hence the 'RRW 1'
registration.
