Hi all, I have an original B/W photo of a 275 GTB registration CNM 456C. It has a #168 on the side. I've hunted high and low, but just cannot find any info on it. The only lead i have is that the photo was possibly taken by a guy called Ray Stewart. If anyone can shed some light on this car to accompany my photo, i would be most grateful. Thanks Paul.
well here's a photo of a photo. Not brilliant quality, but good enough. Looks like its doing some sort of speed trial/hillclimb Image Unavailable, Please Login
have you tried the owners club? they've normaly got details on most of the cars members have had over the years
I haven't no. I didn't know i could ask them without being an owner or member. Anyone in particular i can ask?
A mr. Jackson parked 275 GTB s/n 07397 between those plates for a while in mid 1960s. Have no notes of any events, but clearly he entered an unknown event in his time! Best wishes, Kare
Thankyou Kare, The only reference to that s/n has the registation plate "DYX 3C". Maybe it was re-registered?
What a great foto of a great car being used as it should. Thanks for sharing. Try and get a nice scan of it if you don't mind. Vasco
I have it first on "DYX 3C" with a Mr. Spooner (Spencer???), then on "JM 265" with Jack Maurice, then on "CNM 456C" with M. F. Jackson, then sold to John Bekaert (still using same plates?) and finally with Tony Michaels on "LUM 1" (in 1969) - so 4 different plates in 1960's alone!
Wow!! Thankyou for the info Kare, that has at least shed some nice history for me to investigate. Vasco, as soon as i get a new scanner, i'll send you a nice high res scan of it. Paul
Well just to add to that,1976 - Robert Stanley, Olney, IL, USA . Good old research. Its quite good fun!!
Here's 07397 wearing 'LUM 1' as mentioned above (pictured in MOTOR, w/e 4 Oct 1969, when it was for sale at £2999). -Ed Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I think this photo was taken at the Prescott Hillclimb in Gloucestershire, England. The hill is owned by the Bugatti Owners Club and prior to 1967 the Ferrari Owners Club was a subsiary of the BOC. Events often had classes for both marques.
