Friday's Ferrari

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.

The car in the centre is a 1953 Ferrari 375 MM which has a 4,523cc V12 engine designed by Aurelio Lampredi and is chassis #0366AM. The programme of the event says this about the car:

'375 MM Scaglietti

Originally a PF Spyder, this car was rebodied by Scaglietti, probably in 1954/55. It is the only 375 MM ever produced with bodywork by Scaglietti. Raced in Swedish GPs of 1954 and '56, finishing second in '56.'

The car on the left with a number 17 in the windscreen is a 1951 Ferrari 340 MM, chassis #0082A, and is the car with which Luigi Villoresi and Piero Cassani won the 1951 Mille Miglia. On the right with a number 18 is a 1953 Ferrari 250 MM Panamericana, which at various times has had the chassis numbers #0292MM, #0239EU and #0352MM, all to move the car in and out of Italy without paying duty or getting an import permit.

Today's photograph is one taken at the Ferrari Owners Club area at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1994.

The car on the right is a 1951 Ferrari 340MM and the one on the left has the looks of a Ferrari 750 Monza or a 500 Mondial from the mid-1950s, but is possibly a replica.

Note April 2015: barchetta.cc says that the car on the right is a 1951 Ferrari 340 America Coupe Vignale, serial number 0082A.
