Friday's Ferrari

This car took part in the Cottage Furniture Inter-Marque Championship Race at the Aston Martin Owners Club's Autumn Historic Car Races meeting at Oulton Park in September 1992.
It's described in the programme of the event as a 1982 Ferrari Boxer, entered  and driven in the race by Michael Millard of Birmingham. Its correct designation is a Ferrari 512BBi with a 4,943cc flat-12 engine and is the last of the flat-12 engined cars, 1,007 being produced between 1981 and 1984. It's pictured here during the race at what looks to be the approach to Lodge Corner.

Although not displayed on the car, the programme says that the registration number of the car is J7648, meaning that the car is registered in Jersey.

Friday's Ferrari

This car took part in the Cottage Furniture Inter-marque Championship Race at the Aston Martin Owners Club's Autumn Historic Car Races meeting at Oulton Park in September 1992.
It's Michael Millard's car and is described in the programme of the event as a 1982 Ferrari Boxer. It's a Ferrari 512 BB, of which 929 were built between 1976 and 1981, or a Ferrari 512 BBi, of which 1007 were made between 1981 and 1984. If the date in the programme is correct then it should be a 512 BBi. Four Competizione cars were built, but their barchetta.cc record doesn't show that it was one of those cars. Interestingly, the programme shows its registration number to be J7648 which is a Jersey registration, although Michael Millard's home town is shown as Birmingham.
