The Mondial with the Offy engine was built for Tilp, and was called a "Tilpenhauser". It was entered with race number 92 in the inaugural event at Bridgehampton, September 1957.
All right, ladies, let's keep them pictures comin'. Here are some from the 1972 Virginia City (NE) hill-climb initiated by Hans Tanner and put on by the Ferrari Owners Club (US). Steve Griswold's 158M, Dean Batchelor's 224AT, Roger Ellis' 0340M, and Dave and Mary-Ho Love's 0754TR.

Hoo boy, you nailed me with the Peugot! I think I was the guilty dude. I used to buy a procession of wierd off-beat cars for my wife to beat around in, and they kept breaking down on her. Finally, one of them failed on the freeway, and when I got home that night she pronounced that I was buying her a NEW car, and that SHE was going to select it! She ended up with a Dodge Dart, of all things, but by God it was reliable.
Sorry, Tonga, but I'm with Richard. Tell us who are illiterate how to access your work. I'm in the fourth stage of aging: I forget your name; I forget your face; I forgot to pull up my zipper, I forgot to pull down my zipper. Cheers!
Sorry no lead on engine 0498. As far as I know, it broke in '57 and was replaced by the 3.5 from 0584. OK for Tilp and the Offy but are you sure your interesting photo shows 0498 ? Looks more like 0428... Regards
OUCH!! sounds painful and/or embarrasing.Ok, this is how you access the web site for a particular Ferrari car. I can only speak for the cars from 01C to the P4s not including the Boano, Elena, 250 PF series 1,2,3, Superfast and Super America and 275/365 GT and Daytona cars. Almost all the others have a web site devoted to a particular s/n.Go to Google.com and you will get the search page. enter "ferrari"[lower case letters], space, the s/n # [ 01C, 0156ET, 0301AL,0444M,0764,0816 2209GT etc]. These s/n entries are exactly as shown in the Barchetta "ferraries by serial number" listing. Hit search or enter and you are there. When you get to the end of the first section of threads you can go on to a second expanded listing that will include what you have already looked at plus more threads many of which are duplicates bur there will be new ones also.Many of these threads are out of foreign web sites and most can be accessed in English by hitting 'translation" which is shown after the listing headline. Once you are into one of these foreign sites you can then access the other web pages in the site which often run into the hundreds. If you have the time do this as there is info and provenance about ferrari cars [and many other cars] that you won't find anywhere else. An example of this is the Targa Florio site with thousands of threads going back to the early pre war events[amaising photos] right up to last years event.What I do is print out the Barchetta web page for each car and then research each one collecting pictures and provenance, correcting and adding to the Barchetta page.I could go on and on about how I do this but I don't want to give away all of my secrets. It's all there waiting to be discovered. just one man's opinion tongascrew [George]
Ed, that's my '65 Falcon wagon parked in front of your Peugeot. I had an interesting little "dice" the day I arrived to do my scrutineer/concours judge duties with a couple of Lussos- Larry Bloomer and somebody else I don't know. We all started up the hill at the same time with me in front and almost immediately caught up with a milk truck. I slowed and let the 2 Ferraris pass and then went around the milk truck myself. I soon caught the first Lusso and passed him then caught Bloomer but I couldn't pass him. He was unable to pull away from me, though, and we left the other guy way behind. I didn't actually know Larry but my wife went to high school with him. Later that night at the cocktail party she overheard him telling someone about the "old yellow station wagon" that followed him up the hill. The Falcon had a bunch of tricks done to it and surprised a lot of folks. That was an interesting weekend. If I remember correctly it was raining at the finish of the hillclimb and somebody spun a Daytona on the bridge at the top of the hill near the finish, damaging both ends of the car. There was a very nice dinner as part of the festivities and one of the entrees on the menu was translated as "Chicken run over by a Ferrari" I hope all is well with you and yours. Best regards, Tony K.
You and Ed have great stories and you remember them in such great detail. Thank you. I love "More Old Photos"!! Tom Tanner/Scale Designs/Ferrari Expo-Strictly 43rd Revival 2010-Chicago
A not so usual question - a group of Ferrari mechanics enjoying a rare day off - but where? Anyone recognise this attraction? Nathan Image Unavailable, Please Login
