    Ed,

    Which was the 225 that was part of the Bill Rudd shop in Van Nuys ad that Larry Crane did?

    Does anyone have a photo of the 'other' 212 Export Vignale Cabriolet, 0110 E when it was with HI in Germany in the 1980's/or any earlier period- before it was restored?

    Thanks Marcel, Ed, and everyone for such a great thread (my laptop's desktop is 0226 AT, until someone posts a really cool shot of 0224 AT).

    Marcel,

    is it true, that it started its life as 0353EU, a 250 GT EU Vingnale Cabriolet (colour scheme?) and was then converted to a 375 AL (reason for conversion?) and that it was previously owned by Steve McQueen (true?)?

    I wasn't there to see it in person; the photo was taken by Bill Domm. I've always assumed that it was black but now, even looking at the original photograph and negative, I cannot say for certain that it wasn't dark blue at the time.

    205MM 0334MM when it was burgundy/silver and with bumpers. I have been told that the man at the wheel is Alfred Hopf.
    Before him the car was owned by Peter Monteverdi who raced it. Later he created cars under his own name.

    Kind Regards,

    To answer the questions, I think that 0170 was used in a Bill Rudd ad; the dash on 0266 is as I got it; I posted the pic as I thought it unusual also; 0353 was dark blue when owned by Fitch. Here's a color pic.
