This car took part in the Shell Historic Ferrari Maserati Challenge race at the VSCC's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Donington Park in June 2003.
Officially designated by Ferrari as a 1971 Ferrari 312 P, it has a 2,991cc flat-12 engine and is generally known as a 312 PB (for 'boxer') to differentiate it from the earlier 1969 312 P that had a 3 litre V12 engine. Like the earlier 312 P the 312 PB was a Group 6 Prototype Sports Car, but was re-designated as a Group 5 Sports Car for the 1972 season. The car is chassis #0880 and at the time of this Donington Park meeting it was owned by the American William Binnie, who appears to be driving the car in this photograph taken in the pit lane during a practice session, although the programme of the event shows the driver as Ray Bellm.
On 26 February 2016 I showed a photograph of the car in the pit garage at this meeting.
