This car competed in two rounds of the Shell Historic Ferrari Maserati Challenge series of races at the Vintage Sports Car Club's meeting at Donington Park in June 2003.
This is the 1981 Ferrari 512 BB LM of Jean Guikas, chassis 35525, which was originally owned by Robert Donner of Rennod Racing in the USA. Rennod Racing entered the car in the 1981 Le Mans 24 Hour race where it was driven by Pierre Dieudonne, Jean Xhenceval and Jean-Paul Libert, finishing in ninth place overall and third-placed in the IMSA GTX class. This is the only contemporary event in which the car competed. Three series of the 512 BB LM were built, a total of 25 cars, and were powered by the 4,943cc flat-12 engine with 24 twin camshafts for each bank and 24 valves. The car is seen here in the pit lane at Donington Park during a practice session.
