275 GTB/C #09027 Restored by Ferrari Classiche.

Dyke: I'm always very interested in seeing the build sheets for all Classic and (especially) Competition Ferraris to see what information can be gleaned from them about their original specification, numbering of drivetrain components and how they left the factory. I do also have quite an admiration and interest in the individual 275 GTB/C cars, which are real and proper racing Ferraris.

 

^^^ Interesting.

From the 15th May, 2004 Bonhams Auction of 09027:

Chassis '09027' then sold within the UK via racing driver Richard Bond and Graham Eden, to John Crowther and his son Douglas of Tatsfield, Kent, still in October 1967, now UK registered 'NJB 612F'. It appeared at Prescott hill-climb c.1973 and was damaged by Crowther, subsequent body repairs being entrusted to Wiltshire-based specialist John Giles of TT Workshops. We have spoken to Mr Giles who has kindly supplied us with copies of the relevant invoices, showing expenditure of c. £5,500 to repair the original body, replacing panels where required. The car was shown again in 1975, at the Spa-Francorchamps Ferrari meeting before - in February, 1978 - being sold by Mr Crowther to Frenchman Serge Dermanian in the USA.

Where was that photograph from? 09027 has had many accidents. Do you know if Classiche have overseen a full rebody of 09027 in this last restoration?

 

Thank you, Maestro. Can you explain the B5 markings of the original body that were said to be present previously? If I knew who the owner was I would ask him. I'm not shy.

 

TT Workshops are still trading today at the same address and with the same telephone number.

It would be good to know what the Classiche Red Book pages say regarding what major components are the originals and if any replaced.
