    A little bit off subject but a Vignale car just the same. The late Phil Hill adjusting his own brakes during the Mille Miglia Historica 1986. Yes Gentlemen, they don't make them like that any more!

    My computer dial-up is too slow to look at all of the beautiful pictures! Has anyone posted pictures from the Vignale factory? I love these old shots, from Fawcett's "Sports Car Album", copyright 1953. There is a 10-page article on Vignale with lots of b&w pictures - sample here.

    Thanks to Marcel for starting a great thread, and to all who posted. I particularly enjoyed the several pix of 0170 (red with black top, but all red when I had it). The FCA had an annual meet in L.A. when I owned it, and they asked me to display it at the meet hotel. There were steps leading up to the entrance, and no-one had any idea how to get it up there, so I just drove it up! A hardy little beast, and lovely to look at and to drive.

    C'est la seule 195 Inter avec les clignotants sur les ailes, ce châssis est donné par un livre sur les Ferrari carrossées par Vignale dont le nom m'échappe pour l'instant. Je sais qu'il y a 2 autres dans le "Ferrari Road Cars" de Bluemel mais il ne donne pas le châssis.

    There was a 500 Mondial with a Vignale berlinetta body (published in Dean Batchelor's 1st book/1974), does ANYONE have any pictures of it?

    It looked gorgeous, but tiny.

    I love that car. Ed hired me to drive it to Scottsdale for(I believe) the first Barrett-Jackson auction. Unfortunately for Ed it didn't sell and I had to drive it back to LA. It rode like a horsecart around town but it was great at speed.
    Thanks, Ed.

    Hi Harry-SZ,

    thank you very much for the pictures of 0170ET. The first two pictures show 0170ET at the Mille Miglia 2002. I entered 0170ET (I call it "The Lady") together with a friend of mine. It was hugh fun though it rained cats and dogs from Thursday evening to Saturday night. In the beginning we thought that we are lucky people driving a car with a roof but after a while the water even came through the front window seals and found its way behind the dashboard to our legs and all our belongings at the legroom (including my issue of "Red Arrows"). In fact we had a very humid climate inside and the biggest problem was to have the windows cleaned from fog from inside....

    BTW I am standing next to the car discussing "Ferrari" with another friend of mine.


    Regards

    Bjoern

    That looks like an interesting article. You've just inspired me to order a copy of the book. There are 4 more advertised on abebooks if any one else is interested.

    Fantastic car Bjorn and nice story! I remember the bad weather that year.
    I will check to see if I made more pictures of your car during MM2002 and will post them if I find something.

    Harry, great set of pics!

    I have to ask: what is the Lotus 7-like (apologies) car in pics 16-18? I haven't seen it before.

    Here are some other pictures I made.
    I should get myself a scanner to digitalize my older pictures. You guys will agree with me after seeing these pictures. :)

    The first are from the Mille Miglia again (2001 and 2004). The last two are from the Ferrari racing days Nurburgring in 1997 or 1998.


    p.s. all the pictures I posted are made by myself of course. From most pictures I have bigger versions available. If anyone is interested, please PM me.

    It is a 225 Export if I am correct. Others here will know everything about this car.
    I believe it has been rebodied at least once.

    Le livre, c'est bien sûr le Ferrari by Vignale de Marcel Massini et je doute que son auteur ait la preuve que la voiture dont on parle soit bien 0127E.

    Pourquoi mettre une carrosserie d'un vieux style (qui existait déjà avec 0065S) sur un châssis plus récent (0127E ??) alors que d'autres styles de carrosserie plus modernes existaient à l'époque de 0127E ??
    Pourquoi notre coupé Vignale ne pourrait-il pas être 0061S ou 0073S par exemple ??
    En plus, la voiture engagée dans la course de côte en Italie est donnée pour être une 166 (exit donc 0127E qui était une 195...)
