    A few years ago, my wife's uncle gave me some negatives which he had bought at a car boot sale. I only recently have had some prints made, most of which show some old cars from the 30's up to the 50's.
    However, one picture is much more interesting.
    As far as I know it is a Ferrari 166MM. From the background I guess this is the Spa-Francorchamps circuit. I believe the driver in the picture to be Luigi Chinetti, who won the 1949 Spa-Francorchamps 24hrs. I am curiuous to know more about this car in this race, so any information is welcome.

    This is indeed 0010M, after the finish at the Spa 24 Hours in 1949. There are famous pictures of the car with the fencepost still protruding from a hole in the body. It has been featured in several magazine articles, e.g. Forza #69 and Cavallino #44.

    I have touched this car!
