    s/n 39793. On the downside, it's a left-hand-drive GTBi. On the upside, it's still white.

    Come on guys - someone out there must have some old 35mm Ferrari photos. Use your phone to take a photo of them in daylight and post them here if all else fails...?

    Dear Robert

    I use a 35mm negative scanner which is a VERY slow way to do it but a very good one.

    Here you go....

    03816 taken at Goodwood during the FOC Autumn track day 1983.

    Oops - not sure why all at 90 degrees. But too late at night to rectify!

    Dear Francis

    It is my belief that the blue GT4 in your picture is #14487 registered EUT849T which then belonged to a chap I knew called Nick Richardson. I wonder what happened to him ?

    I will look for other photos.

    No odd chassis number for a 308 GT4. Even # only.

    Thank you Marcel.

    Typo on my part. Should read #14478.

    Here is #16039 at Birtsmorton Court 1991, FOC Concours. Displayed by Maranello Concessionaires. From memory they had just restored it.

    Francis, thank you! Great photos, though I think your Brocket Hall pics are from 1990, not 1991.

    You may be right Robert. They came from a photo album I labelled 1991. But maybe that is when I made the album.

    Interesting if it was a T reg. Mine is 14302 and has a V reg (though for the first 4 months it had a personal plate).

    Looking at records mine was probably built in Oct 78 but not first registered till Aug 79. Tony Willis remembers selling it new in 79.

    Doesn't matter now, but just interesting to know the history. People ask me how old my car is and I'm never sure to say 78 or 79!

    Why was it scrapped? What was the story?

    The owner had a rather large accident in it during a trip to Le Mans, not sure when. It had a £100k rebuild, which was quite a lot back then.

    But rather sadly in May 2001 it caught fire and burnt to the ground.

    ah - can anyone identify the California (and the driver?) from FOC Concours in 1990 at Brocket Hall - see Francis's photo above for front of car - here is rear inc reg plate. Is it Brandon Wang? Here's the GTO again - was quite pleased with the composition of this photo, with Brocket Hall and the bridge in the background!

    Yes, Brandon Wang in #3021.

    And your truly standing behind my much missed VW Golf GTi.

    Trivia question - does anyone know how. Brandon Wang made his fortune?

    No idea. But I did have the chance to spend half an hour chatting with him at the Ferrari 60th celebrations at Fiorano in 2007 where he was showing his 250GTO #4219. Really friendly interesting guy.

    Incidentally, learned yesterday that the 70th celebrations are timetabled for 2nd weekend in Sept next year, at Maranello.

    I have already taken the precaution of booking a hotel :)
