Thanks Manuel Taboada for this interesting pic at Palma e Morgado after the crash.

Actually Canonica's car was not 0486 but 0446 (0556).

You have a PM.

Wish it stayed as a coupe.

Sorry but the body is sooooo wrong now, especially the nose. Very ugly in fact...

As you can see, the hood is different : air intake on the first, double bubble on the second. Some precisions about that ?
edit : What's the car behind the 750' body ? something like 063S...

I noticed the differences too. Therefore I'm interested what former owner Mr. Don Nelson will post about this car.

The car behind is/was indeed 063S.

The double bubble makes more sense for a 750 Monza. The air intake on the top would be more appropriate for a V engine with downdraft carbs in the middle.

This is the one I meant, but reversed the numbers by accident into Robert Phillips' car.

And it was (is) all steel and extremely heavy. I could never work out why..

The colour photo is reversed. It appears LHD but wasn't.

(I'm also a former owner - bought it from Don and sold it later to Oliver Kuttner from memory)

The answer is "yes" Richard.

Augusto Palma, son of Manuel Palma (the owner of Palma & Morgado Garage ) confirmed me
that Ferrari used by Joaquim Filipe Nogueira in Oporto Race in 1956, was a 750 Monza with 3l engine, from Andre Canonica with serial number 0486 ...

I just wanted to correct my mistake after the post Antoine Prunet made.

Tom Roland · #33 11-08-2009, 06:35 AM

I am most interested to know how M. Augusto Palma can verify that the car crashed by J F Nogueira at Porto in 1956 was Canonica's 0486. Canonica did not own 0486 whose owner was Jacques Jonneret. Jonneret was a fellow countryman, also from Geneva, but it happens he came second with his 0486 at the St Ursanne hill-climb in Switzerland on June 24, just one week after the Porto event.
Incidentally, Canonica's car, 0446, was not a 750 Monza but a 735 Mondial and it is easily recognisable on the interesting photo at Palma Morgado posted by Boudewijn from 0486, the first ever 750 Monza,

As far as I know the car is in the Louwman collection (and still is).

I have some pictures of it.

The gullwing body is in Virginia, USA. I saw it there myself.

This is 750S 0440M.

XTP · #38 11-11-2009, 10:41 AM

Sorry my mistake.

I was somehow told that it had first a body with gullwing doors.

But you are right, it is 0440M.

Is the boydy original of 0440M?
I know that the engine is 0516M.

Do you also know the chass. nummer of the 166 Aerolux, 375 indy and the 624 Tasmania
