    Yes and how about Wayne Sparling?
    I spoke to Otto Bowden 18 years ago when I wrote the biography of 0844 -it had its own separate booklet- for its Christie's sale at Monterey 2000:

    More importantly my condoleances for your loss, your memories will honor his memory.

    Best regards,

    Marc

    So sorry for your loss. As evidenced by your father's legacy, he was obviously an incredible Man. Thank you very much for sharing with us. I've viewed your photos a few times now, and keep going back to look again and again. Welcome to Fchat and thank you.

    My condolences, I'm very sorry for your loss. Hang onto those memories.

    No doubt your dad was awesome, but based on this statement from you, I bet he's just as proud of you as you are of him. Right there in 10 words you're showing the value of family, friendship, and respect for your father, you were both very lucky to have each other.

    A few more. This is everything. Sorry for the pic of the Miura. There's a couple Ferraris in the background though. :cool:

    Fantastic photos particularly the tre posti many thanks for posting. FYI Marcel is THE reference for data.

    In the Miura photo I wonder if the red car partially visible at right is not 6885?

    My pleasure. And great to know about Marcel. I bleed Rosso corsa. I would love to know what data he has on my Dad and his cars. I'm sure there's so much I don't know.

    Marcel will likely know all the chassis numbers of every significant car you posted, plus their histories. He literally wrote the book.

    This is just mind-blowing to think about. The cars in these photos, that my Dad drove himself, and loved, are out there right now. It's like a piece of him is immortalized. But if you can find the California in that photo with my Mom and Dad, there's going to be some feels.

    Some of these are pretty well documented.

    The 250 LM is 6233. The silver Pininfarina Cabriolet Series I is 0799. They Daytona 14699.

    Those are the easy ones!

    Oh... My... Lord. These are some of the most outstanding photos ever. THANK YOU THANK YOU for sharing!! What a treasure trove.

    Based on the significance of all of your father's vehicles, it goes without saying that they have likely landed in some esteemed collections. I for one would find it fascinating to know the approximate whereabouts of each of them. It is just a wonderful historic documentation of your father and his passion.
