Ferraris en Venezuela - Branko remembered July 2, 2011

Just compare those 2 cars:
- car #20 (Muro/Pola) at Buenos Aires on page 264, top right (top left being another car BTW) of “Ferrari Argentina”. This is 0564 as captioned.
- car #42 on post 164 above. IMO this is 0534.
Can’t you see different sides ?
After that 0562 went to Sebring (#34, Pola/Muro, yes) but I believe it had not appeared in Venezuela before that.
Photos of 0562 in venezuela later on bave been posted here at Caracas-Cumana-Caracas ‘57 (Dominguez) and Pedro Garcia ’58 (19 Dominguez) and - as I said it before - it’s not the same car than the yellow stuff at El Castano because by then 0562 had lost its “high sides” original bodywork since a long time.
I have been studying the matter for a fairly long time in view of a book you may have heard of.

 

Thanks, I know that. It is the car that was rebuilt in "0564". I admit the relation with the car on post 164 is not obvious... hence my "". But that doesn't prove either that #42 was 0562.

 

PS: Also note the 3-eared hub-caps on #42 above, the car raced by Lollobridgida and the Trans-Oliver...

 

"0564" ????? Error???

Those modifications were made by the Zilio brothers in Maracay after one of them had a crash in Cucuta Colombia and they sold the car to Domingo Olavarria.
The Ferrari Mecedes is still in Venezuela and cant be 0534 or 0562 in my opinion.

PS I asked you before and maybe you didnt read, can I post some of your photos in my forum with the proper copyright mention?
thanks

 

In MY copy of the book "Ferrari Argentina", page 264, it is captioned as 0562 M (NOT as 0564 M !!). Mr. Prunet, would you please be so kind and double-check YOUR copy of said book???

Marcel Massini

 

Could you give the links to those?
thanks

My copy is identical to yours... Yes there is a typo with 0564. But weren't we talking of 0562 and didn't I said "as captioned", Professor?

 

Fantastic. At least we agree that car number 20 at Buenos Aires 1956 was 0562 M (Muro-Pola). Thanks for clarification.

PS: Any news re post #179 ?

Sorry Branko, you are asking too much: these are scattered in several threads. But don't you know these (your) threads better than I do?

 

This is another shot of 0562M at Buenos Aires 1956 coming from a local newspaper article. 3 interesting Ferraris in one photo.

I thought that this car was silver.

As factory's car at Caracas : red of course.

Silver later in the USA...

 

Thanks for the early reply

Mr Prunet, I can see where you are coming from. Looks like the #30 car from the 1000km of Buenos Aires is the Ferrari Mercedes:

This #30 is s/n 0440MD and is NOT the Ferrari-Mercedes...

 

Well #20 from Buenos Aires had a completely different shape, as Mr Prunet pointed out:

#20 is 0562M and is no more the Ferrari-Mercedes...

 

Hi
Does anyone here have a chassis number for the central seat Ferrari #41 in Post 186 ?
I suspect it is Chico Landi's 375 F1, which was converted to a sports car in the same way as was Rosier's.
Thanks
Ian

 

002 I believe.
