Friday's Ferrari

The Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1997 featured a display of Ferraris in the paddock some of which took part in demonstration runs around the circuit during the meeting.

This is the 1968 Ferrari Dino Tasman of Dudley Mason-Styrron taking part in one of those demonstrations – which in this case was during the most inclement of weather conditions. The car is chassis #0010 which started off as a Formula 2 car with a 1,596cc V6 engine in 1968, taking part in that year's European Formula 2 Championship. Several drivers including Chris Amon, Jackie Ickx, Derek Bell and Ernesto Brambilla drove F2 cars for Ferrari that season, and two of the races were won by Ernesto Brambilla. At the end of that season a 2,405cc V6 engine was installed in two of the cars and they went to Australia to take part in the Tasman Championship that was held in Australia and New Zealand. Derek Bell drove this car and finished in fourth place in the Championship which was won by Chris Amon in the other car - chassis #0008.
