It was presented as having s/n 142536 (non-Ferrari s/n). The engine was a Dino 246 (from a Fiat, perhaps?), the rest of the car was manufactured. This looks to be the same, with given s/n 196008.

Judging by the S/N in the article, the whole car seems a replica. (LONG LIVE GOOGLE!)

I'm still wondering about the S/N. I have an older picture of a same type of car. Maybe the same? Lawrence D.

The side pipes should exit the rear but there are far more knowledgeable people on this site than I. L. Wayne...where are you? Boudewijn Berkhoff (Boudewijn) New member Username: Boudewijn Post Number: 2 Registered: 5-2003 Posted on Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 2:02 pm:    Who knows the type identification and serial number of this Ferrari? I should be a 196 type, but I can't find it in my library nor on the web. Who knows?
