The Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1997 featured a Ferrari display in the paddock which included the car pictured below.
It's a 1962 Ferrari 196 SP produced in 1962 to take part in sports car racing in the 2 litre class. According to the board in front of the car it is the one in which Lorenzo Bandini and Giancarlo Baghetti finished second in the 1962 Targa Florio race and was second in its class in the Govenor's Trophy race the same year driven by American John "Buck" Fulp. It is also the car in which Ludovico Scarfiotti won the Sports Car category of the European Hill Climb Championship in 1962. Three further Ferrari 196 SPs were created from larger-engined 246 SP, 268 SP and 248 SP models. The car originally built as a 196 SP is chassis #0804.
