1964 Autodromo Di Roma Question

Who can tell me what we’re the cars with these numbers in this race:

48, 1964 Porsche 904
42, Year?, Model?
74, Year? Lister Knobby? but the front looks different.

Thanks

 

I think 74 is a 1959 Lister modified for the Jaguar D Type engine. Still not sure of 42. Here is a photo. Image Unavailable, Please Login

 

I’m almost certain 74 is a Maserati Birdcage tipo 61. I think 42 is a Ferrari, although not sure what type, maybe 196SP.

 

Jack, thank you for the huge assistance in identifying the cars. After a 30 year hiatus, I’ve begun to draw again and decided to make a pen and ink of this scene. It will challenge my amateur skills and needed to find more reference photos of the cars.

A great deal of work yet to do.

 

That photo appears in the current issue of Octane, by the way.

 

Agree 74 looks to be a Birdcage; and I'm pretty sure 42 is a Ferrari 246SP/196SP 0790 built in 1961 which finished 4th in this race, the GP Campagnano, Vallelunga driven by Leandro Terra.

 

I would say 74 is perhaps a Lister-Maserati, but certainly a Lister..

 

This is the only Lister Maserati ever built according to the Bonham’s auction catalogue.

The crowd was a challenge and is a bit sloppy, but it was a good exercise. Image Unavailable, Please Login
