Friday's Ferrari

This is a photograph of a Ferrari taken in the paddock at the Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Oulton Park in June 1981.

It's a 1965 Ferrari 275GTB, serial number 06901, and when it was sold by Coys of Kensington in January 2000 they had this to say about the car:

'Description: 1964 Ferrari 275 GTB Registration no. KPJ 233C Chassis no. 06901 This right-hand drive car we are proud to offer was originally supplied to Sir Max Aitken, later to become Lord Beaverbrook, and has been well known to the Ferrari Owners' Club for many years. Recently 06901 has been the subject of a no expense spared 'ground up' restoration to Concours standards by well known marque specialists. Finished in Rosso Corsa with tan seats and fitted with its original Campagnolo alloy wheels, this superb 275 is accompanied with a folder containing numerous invoices and V5 registration document.'

Note that www.barchetta.cc shows that it is a 1965 build but the Coys' description attributes it to 1964. The www.barchetta.cc list of Ferrari models show that 448 examples of the 275GTB were produced between 1964 and 1966.
