Tony_C Posted January 3 Author Report Share Posted January 3 That’s going to be a‘Special Special’ JOhn….. 1-2-3 clean sweep in 1966, with Ferrari nowhere (and ‘my’ XJ13 not entered to knock the ‘American brawn’ off the podium) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Even when John has turned it over the photo isn't the best, but my guess is a Ferrari 166 MM Barchetta, 1948 - 52, but the distinctive swage line along the car isn't very clear in the photo.

Dave McD May be the slightly later spyder version with the front wing vents (think 2 were the usual) and the rear wing/ tail vents. and yes any “classic” style GT40 would be just fine thanks.

You could be right Rodders, the rear wing vent certainly looks right but the bonnet air scoop doesn't appear on photos of the 625 Vignale that I've found.

Tony_C Posted January 29 Author Report Share Posted January 29 Pretty impressive Guys…. 1953 250 MM Spyder…..Dumpy little thing compared to the much prettier 375 that came along shortly after? - Only my opinion of course Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ianc Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Problem with these so-called "super cars" is that they are far too wide for our roads, as could be seen in the video. A TR, being so much narrower, can squeeze through quite easily and is likely to get to the pub earlier. Ian Cornish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stillp Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Good point Ian. Probably too low for the sleeping policemen as well. I'll have to rethink my plan for the next daily driver! Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
