Thanks, Marat; I have that film as well, but I probably couldn't get a screen capture that good. It looks to me like the seat side there is indeed red, and the padding black. Never saw that combo before. Thanks again to everyone for putting in your time on this...
1963, first version of V8 with intakes in centre of vee, testing, did not race, engine replaced with version of V6-120 before Italian GP. 1964 version had intakes between camshafts. Paul M
ce qu'il faut savoir, c'est quel est ce chassis. le moteur n'est plas à l'avant you need to know is what is the frame. the engine is no to the front
Precisement. I attended the Gran Premio d'Italia at Monza in September 1960, the last Grand Prix run under the old 2 1/2 liter F1 formula. The three F1 Ferraris were driven by Phil Hill who won, Richie Ginther, 2d and Willy Mairesse, 3d. Graf Wolfgang 'Taffy' von Trips was 5th in the first mid-rear engined monoposto Ferrari race car, the F2 Ferrari Dino 246P that met the F1 formula for the following season. Entirely possible that the photo is of this car? The British F1 manufacturers stayed home except for a squadron of Coopers with a wide variety of engines. One Cooper with a Ferrari engine finished 4th. Porsche sent two factory monopostos with 1 1/2 liter engines, both of which, I now recall, made the most curious, extremely high-pitched whistling sound as they streaked down the pit straight. I later learned that it was due to the fact that the tips of the fans that lay horizontally on top of the boxer engines were spinning at close to supersonic speeds. ah memories!
Merci. Je pense également que cette photo date d'avant 1963. en 1963, les chassis étaient beaucoup plus fin. donc cette photo pourait bien être de 1959 ou 1960 Thank you. I also think that this pic dates from before 1963. in 1963, the frame was much thinner. So this photo pourait well be 1959 or 1960
The chassis has a crash-bar ('rollover bar') which was only required from 1961, so it must be after then. Perhaps the 'interim' F1 car that debuted at Nurburgring in 1962? Paul M
I think because of the 3 cluster instrument group, the 3 prong knock-off, and the curious tubing on the roll bar (All 63 F1s had this tubing...what is it for?) that this is a 1963 156 F1 chassis. It doesn't, however, have the side tubing around the cockpit. Perhaps, an early typo156/-63. Rossa156-63
