Friday's Ferrari

Today's car is one from the Ferrari feature at the Christie's International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1992. It's a Ferrari 250MM Panamericana.
Here's what the programme had to say about the car:
'Front engined V12; 3 litres; 240bhp at 7200rpm; ifs/wishbones-coil spring; rigid axle rear/semi-elliptic leaf springs. Introduced 1952 Paris Show. 33 built. Mostly Pininfarina berlinettas or Vignale spyders. Mainly used in competition by private entrants. This car, then with a 2.6 litre engine, was driven by Ruiz Echevarria & Villegas Becerril in the 1952 Carrera Panamericana. It was later brought to 250MM specification by the factory.'

Note April 2015: The serial number of this car is 0239EU.
