    Hello everyone. Just uploaded another 171 pictures pictures of the TR Class from the lawn:

    2014 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance Gallery - 'Class M-3: Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa' - *************

    I patiently waited for 0766TR, 0724TR, 0704TR, 0728TR and 0768TR to get opened up and judged by Alan Boe and his capable team.

    One comment about 0704TR is that it seemed to have a modified throttle linkage that would hint at a possible RHD conversion.

    0724TR was a fabulous sight and presentation by Paul Russel. Seems like the first restoration with painted red intake manifolds. I find the wrinkle paint used slightly aggressive, but maybe they came with that? 0704TR has only a slight wrinkle.

    mamma mia ! ! What a job ! Thank you very much for sharing.

    About 0728TR: the car was in France and Italy in July for the "250 Tornano a casa" without competition number. She found now race numbers "14", evoking the 1958 victory at Le Mans but the typo is totally false. Moreover, the front hood is not the same as Le Mans, with the air intake turned backwards, at the base of the windshield.

    If not mistaken, I heard conversation at the show by Tom Hartley about 0704 having had a center throttle, changed.

    Precisions:
    0716 TR belongs to Charles Nearburg, he bought it from Pope.
    0718 TR Lawrence Stroll, GENEVA, Switzerland, no longer Canada.
    0724 TR belongs to Harry Yeaggy, and no, he did NOT buy it from Murphy. There is an owner in between (April 2011 to January 2014).
    0728 TR is SIR Michael Kadoorie.
    0736 TR is John McCaw.

    Marcel-you are partially correct regarding 0742. the Gordiniers acquired 100% of the car from other family members.
