Friday's Ferrari

The Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1997 featured a tribute to the Ferrari marque with three Ferrari races and a display in the paddock of cars going back to the earliest days of Ferrari. I found this car in the paddock which wasn't part of the special display and isn't listed in the programme of the event as taking part in any of the races.
It's Paul Pappalardo's 1959 Ferrari 250 TR59/60, chassis #0774TR, the car that won the Le Mans 24 Hour race in 1960 driven by Olivier Gendebien and Paul Frère. It has the Gioacchino Colombo designed 2,953cc V12 Tipo 128 engine.
