More Old Photos

I think the last cars are GT/E 4887GT and 212 Export Vignale 0106E. The third car must be 196 SP spider 0804.

 

Thanks Kare, agree with you !
I thought the blue car had louvers instead of side windows ...

 

I have D.A. Clarke owning 0804 (196SP) - third car
here a couple of pictures of 0106E while with David Clarke. The first was taken in 1961 with David standing next to it. The second was taken in a hotel car park after rear wing damage.

the pictures posted above were send to me by David Clarke about ten ago. So copyright DA Clarke. Along with the pictures there was a lettre which I would love to share. Here goes:

2/8/96

I have been very lucky in my life - I was an International Racing Driver in the 1950's and I drove alongside all the great men of the day, once I drove in the same team as Stirling Moss. (Monaco 1952, when the GP and the Prix de Monaco were for sports racing cars - Moss, Brook and myself drove Le Mans Replica Frazer Nash - Moss retired, Brook finished 3rd and I was fifth).
However, in 1960 I bought my first Ferrari (the 212E No 0106E) and then gradually built up Graypaul Motors. I have had the very great pleasure to drive 76 different types of Ferrari - F1, Racing Sports, GT, prototypes, 2-seat road cars ( berlinettas en spyder) and 4 seater road cars. If you multipl the 76 by the total number of each type, as say, an average of about 700 or 760.
Which ones did I enjoy the most? Well, the 1960 dino F1 Dino, the 330P4 and the TR59 of the racing cars, the 250 Gt Lusso (my own) of the GTs and the 400 I of the 4 seaters. The 275 GTS was a DISASTER and so were many including the Daytona. The road 246 was too much like a FIAT, in fact, I think the V6 Fiat Spyder was better anyway.
I am enclosing 9 photographs, with a little description on the rear. I owned 7 all together, but only kept 5. (now only the 212...)
Kindest regards,

David Clarke

Just wanted to share with you guys..

Jurgen

 

Jurgen, What you have posted is truly great, thank you for sharing.

...and in those days, when you went to Italy no 430's or Enzos to be spotted, just one of those... 250 LM s/n 5995 GT

Is this car now dark blue with a wide yellow stripe?

Do you have that picture in a bigger format?

 

Yes, it is.
Jurgen

 

Sorry,
I haven't, the plates are Italian, but the picture is just too small to read it
Jurgen

 

"FI 317" may be ???

 

I don't think so, I guess they're Roma plates, but the pic is way too small too read.
Sorry
Jurgen

 

This LM was driven on the street regularly on the Tri-State area. The photos were taken at Lime Rock in 1979. I believ the owners name was Okato?

Wow, that David Clarke letter is amazing. Wonder why he thought the 275GTS a disaster.

 

You mean "Okada" with s/n 5845...

 

I wonder if there has been an "old photos" before this one?
Thanks everyone for sharing these fabolous pictures.

I try to give a small contribution to this wonderful thread!!
In the seventies, when I was studing Medicin in the Army Accademy, I organized a visit to Maranello.
The Drake was so kind to spend a lot of time with us!
(I am that one in the red circle)


I took also a pic in the "reparto corse" where pics were ...not allowed by the Management but, as you can see, at that time the mechanics were so nice to pse for me!!


PS. I apologize but I don't know how to put pics in this forum!

 

of one of my favorite cars of all time..
