Pics of vintages I find/see on the net.

Not an original livery.

I’ll take #23, please.

 

it’s my absolute favorite race car ever. It certainly epitomizes that amazing era of road racing.

 

Part of a private collection in California.

 

during my military time near porsche in stuttgart I met a mechanic servicing those 917 and he told me a lot of storys about the reliabilty. at that time this car has been the " non plus ultra " in race cars.
what I find at that time very curious: they took two 6 cylinder together and the power transmission happened where those engines came together instead of the end of the engine

 

IDK but center car is 1807GT.

This beautifully restored 212 Inter was at cars and coffee in Malibu today. It,s nice that some owners bring such magnificent cars to public events and show them rather than keeping them locked up in some obscure garage.

 

A tragedy to restore 0219 EL which was one of the very last super original untouched, unmolested and unrestored Vignale-bodied Ferraris. So well preserved over many decades, completely unnecessary to destroy all the originality. And then hang on a totally fake Florence license plate that didn't even exist.............when the real Italian license plate is well known that this car was originally registered with. Whoever did this restoration didn't even do the homework and find out that the roof color and material was totally different originally........sad, sad, sad.

Sorry Marcel, usually when i see a Ferrari of this age i assume it was in bad shape or in pieces to have been restored. On the top of that looks like they didn't do enough research to see what the original car was like. All i can say is that Vignale was a master coach builder and their designs where just exquisite.
