Friday's Ferrari

This is a photograph that I took at the Ferrari display at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting in July 1997.

On the left is the Ferrari 312 T4, chassis #040, with which Jody Scheckter won the World Championship in 1979. The board in front of the middle car says that it is a 1954 Ferrari 500 Mondial and was a factory team car which was used in the Mille Miglia and the Supercortemaggiore race, probably chassis #0414MD. On the right is a 1970 Ferrari712 CanAm Spyder, originally a 512S Spyder it was converted to a 712 CanAm Spyder in 1971. Owned in 1997 by Paul Osborne, it's chassis #1010.

Friday's Ferrari

Last Friday's Ferrari was a Series 2 Ferrari Mondial and today's car is the earlier Series 1 version, seen here at the 1997 Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone. The board in front of the car says that it is a 1954 Ferrari 500 Mondial and was a factory team car which was used in the Mille Miglia and the Supercortemaggiore race. The Ferrari Mondial site which I highlighted last week seems to indicate that this car is chassis 0414MD, about which it has this to say:

0414MD was a Ferrari 500 Mondial with Pinin Farina Spyder coachwork and a Scuderia Ferrari Team Car, raced in The Giro di Toscana by Paolo Marzotto and Marino Marini (dnf), in the Mille Miglia by Enzo Neri and Alberto Neri (dnf) and in the GP Supercortemaggiore.
