Friday's Ferrari

This is a photograph that I took in the Ferrari Owners Club's area in the paddock at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1998.

It's a Vignale bodied 1953 Ferrari 166MM with a Gioacchino Colombo designed 1,995cc V12 engine. The original owner was Porfirio Rubirosa, and its owner at the time of this Silverstone meeting was Bernard Worth who had owned the car since 1960. The chassis number has been changed a couple of times and it appears to now be 0308M, but the history of the car is shown on the barchetta.cc file for chassis 0328M.

I photographed this car at the area set aside for the cars of the Ferrari Owners Club at the Silverstone Historic Festival meeting in August 2001.

I took this photograph outside the Ferrari Owners Club marquee at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 2000.

It's Bernard Worth's 1953 Ferrari 166MM Vignale Spyder, originally chassis number 0328M but re-numbered to 0050M and then again to 0308M. Bernard Worth bought the car in 1960 and was still to be seen driving the car in April this year at Castle Combe at the age of 83.
