This is a photograph I took at
the Christie's International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July
1992 which featured a special display of Ferraris in the paddock numbered 1 to
32, and a page in the programme of the event gave details of each of the cars.
This is a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB
Berlinetta Competizione, chassis #2735GT, and is the Rob Walker entered
car with which Stirling Moss won the 1961 Tourist Trophy race at Goodwood. The
car was rebodied by Piero Drogo after competing in the 1962 Tourist Trophy
race, but was restored in stages from the 1970s, the complete restoration being
finished in 2009. The car on the left is a 1950 Ferrari 166 MM Touring Barchetta that the factory brought up to 195, and later to 212 specifications. Owned by Dudley Mason-Styrron it is chassis #0040M. On the right is a Ferrari 250 GT LWB Berlinetta Scaglietti TdF at the time owned by Peter Hannen and is chassis #1353GT.
