This car took part in the Shell Ferrari Historical Challenge race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1997.

It's the 1964 Ferrari 250LM, chassis 8165, of David Piper and was driven in the race by Chris Rea. The '250LM' should indicate a 3 litre engine, but since all but the first example of the model (which did have the 2,953cc V12 Colombo engine) had the 3,286cc version of that engine it should really be referred to as a 275 LM. The intention was for the 250LM to be homologated for the FIA's Group3 GT class so when the larger engine was fitted Enzo Ferrari insisted that the '250LM' should be retained to help with the homologation process.
