Ferraris en Venezuela - Branko remembered July 2, 2011

Very good catch! 0687GT - like 0529GT - was also with Joe Harth in Venezuela. Best wishes, Kare

 

Thanks Kare; I'm still thinking wether the stop lights were original or locally modified.
Best regards

 

You mean those tail lights? They come from a VW 1500, so 100% modified. Best wishes, Kare

 

Thanks again, Kare. Best regards

 

A couple of 250 GT Coupés, the white one in front of Automoviles Kauffman Ferrari Rep at the time.

THANK YOU BRANKO for share here the pictures !
if the Coupe in pic 1 and 2 are in Grigio Conchiglia,it could be s/n 1233GT or 1281 GT.
In pic 3 and 4 ,the Coupe looks really a white one..possible s/n 1149GT.

I'm not sure about the serial numbers,surely the historians can correct me if needed.

regards
Ivo

 

I agree. Will be impossible to tell apart 1233 and 1281 I think. Note those beautiful parking lights that so often get changed for standard Altissimos these days. Don't know if people think they are not original or if Altissimos are a safer choise for judging. Best wishes, Kare

 

Arrival at the 1957 Venezuelan GP.

Regards.
Cris.-

 

Cris,
the white A6GCS in the back is #2098.
No idea about the car in front....

Ciao!
Walter

 

The driver is Azzurro Manzini and is one of the 3 or 4 A6GCSs that were in Venezuela.
Here es another view of the same car, same race and you can see another one way back.

Branco,
thanks. But is Manzini in car-no. 75 or in the A6GCS on 3rd position which is #2098? The car in front and in the very back is unknown to me (also the 150S on 2nd position is unknown). Ideas?

Ciao!
Walter

 

Walter, in 3rd is Silvano Turco in 2098, in 2nd I beleive is Ugo Tossa in the ex Isabel Hasket 150, the other 2 probably 2066 and 2069.

Here is another picture of the A6 GCS, at the same race, could also be Minervini, but don't know its s/n. The front grille is from an early version

In messege # 364, the car in between the two Maseratis, is the ex Marzotto's Ferrari 500 Mondial Scaglietti (s/n 0404?), in this case, driven by Raúl Domínguez. Can be partialy seen also in message # 367. Some consider this, the first Scaglietti bodied Mondial

Cheers

 

0440M is a Monza with a rare body (two of them)

Willy

 

Branco,
no, can`t be #2066 as this car had got a slightly different front section around the radiator due to an earlier accident n Italy. #2098 had got a smaller radiator after the fatal crash of Croquer so this car can be easily identified. But I agree with you that one of the other cars could be #2069.

Ciao!
Walter

 

Willy, 0440 was one of the 3 Ferraris that Joao Rezende Dos Santos bought and brought to Venezuela in 1955, 0352, 0440 and 0462.

Sorry should have said 0352, 440 and 562.
