This car took part in the
Shell Ferrari Historical Challenge race at the Coys International Historic
Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1997.
According to the programme of
the event car number 1 is Engelbert Stieger's 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO, which was
due to be driven in the race by Christoph Stieger, but the number 1 above is
Engelbert Stieger's 3 litre 1972 Ferrari 312P, chassis #0888. The 312P was
introduced in 1971 and has a 2,991cc flat-12 engine, and it is sometimes referred
to as a 312PB to differentiate it from the 1969 312P which had a 2,990cc V12
engine - the 'B' being a reference to the boxer engine of the later car.
