    After much overtime work and photographic patience I was able to finish a gallery on the 250 Testa Rossas on the Pebble Beach Tour d'Elegance.

    If anyone has the ability to reupload my shots here please feel free to do so.

    Thanks for the pictures!

    Also it is very strange to see David's old TR not with the #9 on it anymore after wearing it proudly for decades. (Tom apparently put his #22 on it instead)

    Anyone know about the real Lemans history of 0724? How much was left of the chassis in the 80s?
    Thanks Dogday

    WHAT?? Please do not spread incorrect information on the internet, simply because you haven't seen this car for decades and information in books is little or even missing.
    0724 TR has ALWAYS been a complete car including original frame and body etc.
    It was twice damaged on the left front fender between windscreen and front axle area, both during the early race career. No big deal at all.
    Dr. Willis Murphy in Fort Worth TX kept it 49 years. Sold it Spring 2011.
    0724 TR was fully restored 2013/14 by Paul Russell and Company in Essex, Mass.
    Car is one of the very best and still has the original engine.

    Mr. Dogday apparently believes that seven of the 16 TRs at Pebble Beach are fakes. https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/143315945-post1712.html . If you could join me a few dozen miles north of Monterey, in S.F., I could introduce you to a number of street denizens with similar insights on the world around them.

    I would hazard a guess that Mr. Massini is currently located somewhere in the vicinity of a famous Golf Course, that might be temporarily closed, this weekend...:rolleyes:

    Anyone have a complete listing of who won what class (with pictures etc. thanks)?
    Yes, I will in fact purchase a '100% real' TR in the near future. But, I want only the very-best original TR out there with a 100% 'true" original drive-line, with the best Lemans placing history.

    What I want, bad, I know I will have to pay $50,000,000+ for next year..

    Free advice part one: this information is readily available through Professor Google.
    Free advice part two: you will probably enjoy better access to the marketplace, and to its experts and participants, if your introduction to this tiny club is not to insult and slander the members with suggestions that any car which falls short of your high standards is fraudulent.

    I understand that very well, thanks for your insight. I have a few high-ends whereas the history's are very questionable indeed also.
