It's in the Carlo Biscaretti di Ruffia Museum, now the MAUTO Museum in Turin, Italy, since almost 60 years. It was a gift from the factory to the museum. Marcel Massini
The original poster said the 1963 156 F1 in the Mougins Museum was #0002. I assume its not the Biscaretti car, may not even be #0002 but whatever it is I wonder what happened to it. I know another car is in the Schlumpf collection, another in the Barber collection and a third in the Biscaretti but still these are rare as the proverbial hens teeth and I was unaware of any 156/ 158/ 1512 in the Mougins collection!
The 156 B F1 1963 in the Schlumpf Collection in Mulhouse, France, is #0004. The Schlumpf collection received 0004 on 26 March 1965. I took some of the below pix almost 40 years ago in Mulhouse.

I don't know if the museum in Mougins changed its name at some point, but when I made a visit in 1998 it was called Musee de l'automobiliste. Nice ornament at the entry Image Unavailable, Please Login
1512 F1 #0007 sold by Brooks to Albert Obrist. It later went to Bernie Ecclestone in UK. Still there.

Agreed - I was trying to make sense of the initial post (https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/posts/148253361/) that stated that the museum had passed out a "folder accompanying the exhibit" that claimed a different (and unlikely) chassis number, for what appears to be that same car (13213). If it was just a visitor, it would be easy to dismiss as a simple confusion - but it gives me pause if supposedly the curators published the information.
0008. It was together with the Breadvan at Christie's Monterey 2005. Marcel Massini Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
