Friday's Ferrari

This car, pictured in the pit garage at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in August 1996, is a 1970 Ferrari 512S entered by Ten Tenths Ltd and driven in the Visage Pre '72 Le Mans Car Race by Simon de Latour. This 5 litre V12 engined sports car was developed to challenge the Porsche 917 in the International Championship for Makes. Ferrari won only one race in the 10 round Championship (at Sebring), but picked up two second and four third places to finish the season in second place to Porsche.

It looks as if this is the car that was rebuilt from the remains of serial number 1026.
