    Hello Roger,

    I have it listed as a Ferrari 212 Vignale.
    I am not very much into chassisnumbers, so I do not have that.
    But I can see the car is still registered in the Netherlands :

    First registration : 30-06-1954 (30-06 is a default I guess for imported cars)
    First Dutch registration : 09-10-1997
    Last registered : 31-12-1998

    So since 1998 in the same ownership.

    And thanks to Tom for the chasisnumber!! :)
    (so the car is from 1952? RDW says 1954, but they make more mistakes)

    The bw photo bottom right (post #211) with Italian opera star Anna Magnani shows chassis #0181 EL (195 Inter). The pic is from the 1951, the 1974 and the 1989 Factory Yearbook. No connection to 0157 EL (212 Inter).

    Stunning indeed. I first learned of 0197 through a feature story in Supercar Classics when she was still with DN when he was still in the UK. May well have been authored by DCN for all I know. What a great example of Vignale's excellence in design served well by the two-tone non-Rosso paint scheme.

    Designed by Giovanni Michelotti, executed by Carrozzeria Alfredo Vignale. Too bad 0197 EL today no longer has its original engine and is fitted with a restamped engine. No doubt a fabulous car.

    Well, I asked because Marcel still mentioned the restamped engine...
