    Regarding the photo of the KLM plane with various personalities in front of it, here is Doug Nye’s apparently conclusive post taken from TNF:

    My friends Franco Lombardi and Antoine Prunet are jointly completing what will - from the manuscripts I have read so far - be the definitive book on the 4-cyl and in-line 6-cyl Ferraris. I have just drawn Franco's attention to this picture, and here's the typically definitive response:

    It is shot in Lisbon on October 29th 1957. From Milan to Amsterdam and then to Lisbon on the way to Caracas for the Venezuela GP. A bunch of Maserati and Ferrari friends going to fight for the final race. From left: Mino Amorotti, Bruno Solmi, Adelmo Marchetti, Romolo Tavoni, Edgardo Selingardi, Giorgio Scarlatti, Nello Ugolini, Mike Hawthorn, Erio Fossati, Gaetano Florini, Mr. Ray 'Scruffy' Martin (the Shell representative), the KLM representative in Lisbon. On the stair: Carlo Amadessi, a Maserati mechanic still to be identified (I am working on this...), Emer Vecchi and Jean Behra. Some of the guys there had already changed their clothes in view of the Venezuelan climate.

    Amazing work!! What threw alot of people off was the missing Ferrari team drivers.

    Can't wait for the 4-6 cyl book.

    It was that nice when I was driving it.

    Epstein had changed the steering wheel to one from a Trans Am. For driving this was actually nice since it was a smaller diamater and had a thick, leather covered rim. Bob also ran BF Goodrich TA radials instead of the Dunlops.

    Some interesting tidbits. The restoration was by Griswold; saw the actual bill of $46,000. The restoration was for Fred Knoop who was the owner/exhibitor at Pebble Beach as shown in the photos. He sold it to Kerry Payne who in turn sold it to Bob Epstein. The license plates stayed with the car. Bob never re-registered the car because California does the license fees based upon value. The plates had the car at the fully depreciated value so the absolute minimum $ as if 5909 was some old piece of junk. As Bob said even if he lied through his teeth about what he paid it was still going to mean an expensive license fee. So to have a current year registration sticker on the plate he used the one from his Morris Minor woody wagon (a stunning restoration on a huh? car).

    I got pulled over for excessive noise one evening and while the CHP was running license and registration I stood in front of the registration sticker. By that point I had already found out that mis-application of a registration sticker was a serious offense. The cop had only a slight sense of humor about the windshield wiper not being installed when I pulled them out of the well in the drivers door. As I was putting them back he asked if I wasn't going to install them; no it wasn't raining. Didn't bother to tell him that the wipers had quit working anyway.

    Epstein then sold the car on to Obrist. I had heard $120 to $140 area. Bob had paid $70K as confirmed by him to me.

    1954 Carrera Pan Americana -- 0286AM w/Phil Hill and Richie Ginther -- someone sent me the picture today and photographer unknown. Just trying to identify if anyone knows who took it or what part of the course? (quite a bit crowd in the background)

    Maybe Joe Smith, a photographer of the period, who sold his collection to Tony Adriaensens of Corsa Research in Antwerp, Belgium about 10 years ago...

    ok, go ahead and shoot me for posting this "not old" photograph, but I had to do a now-and-then w/ Ed's pic of Dick Merritt at a Ferrari gathering. Here is one from 42 years later.

    What is the first picture? An Argo chassis (or something) that would bear a 308 motor?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    2nd and 3rd photos appear to be the 312 PB #0892 built-up replica (that barchetta says was later dismantled circa 2001).

    Best,

    Sorry Dave, meant to post that separate and I think you are correct. I have several pics of the engine for that car also which is a 308 .

    Another rather poor quality photo. I thought the color was interesting supposedly factory color, also posted because of the flairs again supposedly a factory add. I do remember it having very wide wheels(one of the rears is next to the car) I can't find the finished photos of the car. This car belonged to John Robertson(Bigfork, MT)dec. when this was taken 1990 or so.
