    We are headed to Goodwood revival with 1759GT.

    Being one of the N.A.R.T. entry for 1960 LeMans, I'm looking for photos of the team aka "crew" coveralls in order to have them reproduced for the Revival.

    Any help would be great. I want to be "sure" we represent the car with proper NART team apparrel which is different from the factory team.

    Too litle engine for a Ferrari, because this is an Osca Sport 750 !
    Interesting photo and from the records the car was inscribed by Ed Hugus, probabily on collaboration with Chinetti's team.

    That would be great!

    I am also taking a 1960 RS60 Porsche that Stirling Moss and Graham Hill co-drove at the 1961 Targa Florio that broke a lap in the lead 8km before the finish.

    So I need their uniforms as well.......

    The answer is in the article: Forty-nine years ago, John Bentley and John “Jack” Gordon bought OSCA 750, chassis 769, and entered it at Sebring where they placed 12th overall and won the Index of Performance. On a roll, they decided to go to Le Mans and try to duplicate their amazing success at Sebring.
    It was now late March and we were informed that all the entries for Le Mans were closed and they wouldn’t give us a late entry. Fortunately Luigi Chinetti was willing to rent his NART OSCA 750 (Chassis 768) entry to us, for a fee of $1000 per driver.

    A bit offtopic, but take a look here: http://www.grandprix-originals.com/shop/index.php?language=en


    @topic: There's a German company selling vintage style racing overalls, maybe they have something for you, too... they're called... Maxparts or something like that. Google is your friend! :)

    Yes, saw those already....close but not really.

    Original had elastic band on cuff and ankle and were gray blue similar to the seats in 250 GTO but a bit lighter.

    From what I have found, the factory mechanics wore a tobacco brown coveralls and Chinetti's team wore light blue/gray coveralls. At this point no one (of good authority) can confirm they had any patches on their coveralls.

    I have made some researches in my files, but many mechanics around the N.A.R.T. cars have the Ferrari patch. Some others with a Shell patch, and others without patch. I didn't found any N.A.R.T. patch on the photos from the 60's.

    Very cool.

    That is the color Blue/Gray I was told they used in 1960 by both David Seibert and Michael Keyser

    The Saratoga Auto Museum is having its Fall Ferrari Festival honoring NART.

    I contacted them about NART team photos on display and the next dau Dick Fritz (NART team manager) sent me an email with a photo of his old coveralls. Before I had a chance to reply he called to make sure I got the email. Very cool of him.

    So the light blue/gray coveralls are already at the shop and patches on the way.

    I have been researching old photo so much, I made webpage for the team to figure out their dress attire for Goodwood compiling shots on Fchat and others I found:
