Wow,Doug Nye!!Nice to see you posting some photos. The 2nd photo is #0834 and Bandini testing at Modena. 3rd is USGP 1964 with Chinetti and Surtees among others. The 4th is a 512M, Sebring 1971.Forget what car.Maybe Young 512M.This is without checking. Tom Tanner/Scale Designs
Hi, Doug. Please don't try to 'hang this one on me', in the unlikely event it should 'all end in tears' I merely suggested that you should register, to enable you to see the excellent photos in this thread. I'm sure we won't be able to seduce you away from the more familiar T.N.F. for very long - but you've got to admit it's darned sight easier to post (rather than 'remote host') photos on here, isn't it ? Welcome aboard, anyway - and thanks for posting / sharing those images with us.
Welcome, Doug. I think you'll find the folks here as appreciative and respectful as those over at TNF, where you also know me as Jack-the-Lad. Your participation here will be a big asset to this forum. Jack
Hi Grant, All photos are from the 1989 Mille Miglia, thanks for sharing. #133 is 166MM s/n 0008M, #304 (417) the 250GT Tour de France from the rear is s/n 0677GT the famous Olivier Gendebien 14 louvre, and the other Tour de France #289 I believe is s/n 0619GT/0805GT. I can't make out the plate on the 250PF Cabriolet, but that was not an actual entrant in the rally. -Jarrett
In the racing section of FChat, we started a thread for racing photos from 1970-1989. Please post any of your originals in that thread for all to see. Trying to keep it pure, photos actually shot by the one posting. Like this: Image Unavailable, Please Login

The flying 512 is the Young car yes: Mr Young must have had a few white hair after that...Another 512 had a huge somersault like that, in Zeltweg 71.
Yes, that was Gregg Young filing an optimistic flight plan in his 512. We have an entire colour sequence of this incident, shot from the other side of the circuit by Franco Lini, Ferrari's Direttore Sportivo in 1967, of course. Here are some more shots from our files which might interest and arouse some debate. There's something 'Ferrari' in each of them, of course.

Delighted to see you posting here Doug....................just hope it doesn't cause any delay to BRM Vol. 4.............. Picture 2 might puzzle people though! Paul M
Lovely photo of Pipes in #4491 chasing Chris Kerrison in #2735GT through the chicane at the Tourist Trophy '63
Thank you Paul. Having only just passed the completed BRM Vol. 3 to the printers I had a bored meeting, and gave myself a week or two off... Pic 2 is quite fun, isn't it? DCN
Thats the cars from the filming of the Grand Prix movie?? Not really a Ferrari!!! Great photos.I can use all the photos of #0834 I can get.It will help me update my Scale Designs 1/24 Dino 166P model for reissue. Tom Tanner/Scale Designs
Quite right Tommy - it's not really a Ferrari - but is its cigarette-smoking driver of any significance to Ferrari, and to Monza? DCN
Doug. Looks to me to be the same person (lying in a hospital bed, with an ashtray on the side table) as in Nathan's post: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showpost.php?p=137369880&postcount=3421 .... (post #3421 at top of page 172) .... Lodovico 'Ludo' Scarfiotti.
Absolutely. Winner of that year's Italian GP in the Ferrari 312. 'Lodovico' or 'Ludovico' - he seems to have spelled it either way, which is odd. I have always used 'Ludovico' as advised by him. His car is the spaceframe McLaren M3, used by Frankenheimer's MGM unit as a camera car/fake Ferrari. I don't think McLaren had profited from Ferrari technology. Perhaps having spotted that the Italians used four wheels might be held against them? Here are a few more shots, perhaps indicative of what 'it' is all about...

indeed, quite scary how close they pass that brick wall!! Thank you very much Mr Nye for posting these incredible pictures. BEST Jurgen
Glad to see they're appreciated. The brick chicane wall at Goodwood was only demolished years after the circuit closed to racing in 1966, when the Team Surtees transporter struck it during a test session (for racing cars, not for transporters). Today's Revival Meeting chicane 'brickwork' - used since we reopened the place in 1998 - is expanded polystyrene faced by 'brick' bond-pattern plastic sheet. No need to call me 'Mr Nye' - makes me feel like a stuffy old git, which I hope I ain't. Maybe sometimes prickly - stuffy heaven forbid. First name's fine. And nearly as short... DCN
