Great. take your time. I have a file on this car and would very much like to have an English translation to include in it. thanks just one man's opinion tongascrew

 

For those of you interested, 0180ET was restored by Classiche and is back in Brazil, painted a beautiful shade of yellow. It just won Best of Show at the Campos de Jordão classic car meet this past weekend. There are some pics of the car here:

I don't know if this is true or not, but the story told in the article above is that the car was presumed lost and that apparently the person Ferrari sent to inspect the chassis cried when he saw it was actually 0180ET... I don't buy it, but it's nice to hear a romantic story once in a while.

I'll try and find more pictures, but I would love to hear more about this car, other than Manuel's already incredible website. Perhaps Mr. Massini has some extra information on the car. I'm particularly interested in knowing if it was reunited with its original engine, or if it carries a Classiche made block.

 

Some extra pictures.

Car is owned by collector Antonio Ricardo Beira and resides in Campinas, in São Paulo state.

There area series of internet postings on the subject. Most of these include an English translation. I am sure these can be found thru Google. They include detailed accounts,race results and pictures of Ferrari cars and drivers in many events in Portugal in the 1950s & early 1906s. Much of this I have only found in these sites. Enjoy. tongascrew

 

George, you just answered your own question.

.....

 

A resto was done in Brazilin in 2001 by Alberto Ramos who bought the car when Marx died in 2001. The car came with no engine. In 2005 the car ran in the M.M. #170 and painted red with engine?? It's nice to see it back with a good Ferrari yellow, its original color. Good question what engine is in today. It lost its original engine around 1953 which was replaced with #0466 Lots of provenance in Ferrari in Portugal

 

It was restored at Classiche, so maybe a classiche made block. I would like to know more about that, too.

 

Ciao
Oscar

^Same car? Few different things I notice right off the bat; lights, grille frame, hood with chrome spine instead of louvers, rearview mirror, possibly wheels...
