    Just guessing, but

    No. 114 - 41263
    No. 110 - 28601

    If you're correct about the Knapfield (definitely) and Sordi (probably) cars, here's their S/Ns.

    No. 111 - 32129
    No. 112 - 38739

    Perhaps someone will confirm.

    From owners.ferrari
    "It was late evening when Race 1 for categories six to 11 got underway and this time victory went to John Bosch in a Ferrari 512 BB LM, tailed by Peter Hardman at the wheel of a magnificent 412 P and then Massimo Sordi, also in a very nice 512 BB LM. That said, Paul Knapfield was fourth across the line in the end despite starting at the head of the pack. Unluckily for him, the normally very competitive English driver’s engine cut out of the blue on lap two and then started up again just as unexpectedly. “I can’t understand what happened,” a baffled Knapfield told us later in the parc ferme, “It’s very annoying and I hope that my mechanics will be able to put their finger on the problem.”

    John Bosch was in high good humour, however, after his victory: “In lap 1, Knapfield was faster than me on the straights but he braked too soon into a corner and I managed to get past him. I’m sorry though that he had that problem with his engine as there would have been a great battle otherwise.”

    ....................

    The early part of Race 2, reserved for the categories six to 11, featured a stunning duel between the eventual winner Michel Ferté in a Ferrari 512 M and his nearest rival John Bosch. Paul Knapfield finished third having been slightly slowed by a bad choice of tyres: “I used too hard a mix of tyres and I couldn’t really hit back properly at John who had gone for a softer mix.”

    There was no engine problem; he accidentally switched of the ignition when changing gear!

    TomGT,

    Did you post the pictures of the BBLM fuel metering unit you're offering?

    Thanks for sharing your pictures. I missed Le Mans Classic. Will you attend other events this year? I saw 22715 at FF40. It had the massive front spoiler on. Do you still have it with the car?

    Best, Peter
