The Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1997 featured an extensive display of Ferraris, some of which took part in demonstration runs round the circuit during the two-day meeting. Here is one of the cars that took part in those demonstrations.
It's the 2,992cc flat-12 Ferrari 312 T4 (chassis #040) with which Jody Scheckter, who is driving the car on this demonstration run, won the World Championship in 1979. Jody Scheckter won 3 of the 15 races finishing ahead of his team-mate Gilles Villeneuve, who also won 3 races, in the final table. Alan Jones in the Williams FW07 won 4 races, but the only other points he scored were for a 3rd and a 4th place so he only managed to finish the season in 3rd place in the Championship.
On 15 January 2016 I showed another photograph of this car at the Coys meeting at Silverstone in 2000.
