Wade, you're absolutely right... After a closer look, i see the nose badge and the Scuderia shield on the side- which completely obliterates what my meaning of a fender was, but that's another thread, entirely... Thanks for pointing that out, they're so easily noticeable now that you've mentioned it- i wonder i couldn't see them, before...? Probably 'cause my drool smudged the screen...  Wade... You're right on two counts...! 5 GORGEOUS Ferraris, all parked under the Porsche logo- pretty funny, if you ask me... i know there's a Ferrari insignia to the left, but in that particular picture, it's cut out... Would've been funnier if it were a Lamborghini Shield- not that i'm trying to start anything...! | ||

DES I think I got it, could it be the fact that all of the cars are Ferraris and they are perched under that shield looking thing from Germany. Wade | ||

DES I belive that the car you are refering to with the number 19 is a 512S and it does have a nose badge and a Scuderia shield on the fender Wade | ||

John one correction your definition of the term "SWB" Short Wheel Base is not totally correct. the actual meaning is "Short Wheelbase Berlinetta" Wade | ||

Does anyone see the irony in the picture of Kelly's 498th post...? (Hint: it has nothing to do with his post #.) Kelly, these pictures are simply ridiculously gorgeous... The last picture you posted with the bad ass red car, staring everything down that crosses it's path- the one with the # 19 on the front- suhWEET...! i have to assume that that's a Ferrari (even though there's absolutely no indication of such, ie: Scuderia badges, Prancing Horses, etc.), but what kind of Ferrari is it...? These pictures are from Cavalino, right...? About how many cars were there, total...? Where is Cavalino...? | ||

DES, I can answer questions 1 and 2 1. The term "one off" simply means one of a kind. 2. "SWB" is the acronym for Short Wheel Base 3. ??? | ||
| DES (Sickspeed)
Intermediate Member Username: Sickspeed Post Number: 1718 Registered: 8-2002 |
John, very interesting story... A few questions: 1). i've seen the term "one-off" used a lot, here... what does that mean...? 2). What does SWB stand for...? 3). If the legend is true, why would they send the transmission somewhere that Enzo could get a hold of it, after what happened...? | ||

DES: The 330 TR/LM won the 1962 24 hours of LeMans. It was a one-off, the last testarosa built, and last front engine car ever to win the race. "The Breadvan" is also a one off and was the 330 TR/LM's competition in the 1962 LeMans race. Its the only Ferrari known instantly by its nickname. It once a very famous 250 SWB SEFAC factory racer, which was purchased by the famous Count of Venice. Enzo Ferrari promised the count on of the new 250 GTOs, but when Ferrari found out the Count was going to race him at the 1962 LeMans race he pulled the order. So Volpi tried to get him back. Volpi approached and hired all of Ferraris top brass (including Bizzarini the father of the GTO). They all left, in what is referred to as the Palace Revolt. Well those men (Bizzarini expecially) were hired by Volpi to build a "better GTO." They then modified the s/n 2819 into the Breadvan. The car was very very fast, but they made one mistake (according to legend, which has recently been doubted)they sent the transmission to the factory to be refurbished before the race. Supposibly Enzo found out about it, and (supposibly to insure the 330 would win) he sabatoged the gearbox by leaving out several parts. In the race the breadvan was leading all of the GT cars when the gearbox failed on lap 7. Now the two cars are back together in New Orleans and carry the numbers they wore in the '62 LeMan race! | ||
