    Using reproduction license plates from Switzerland "ZH 891" as seen on this car in 1955, four years after production by Ghia-Aigle (Swiss coachbuilder).
    Car was originally grey with ivory roof and had a dark red leather interior.
    0195 EL is in Australia since December 1984.
    Thank you for the photos.

    Thanks for sharing. Lovely car.
    Did you had a chance to ask when it was last used "as intended" and long was that road trip ?;)

    No I didn't get to speak with the owner and it didn't attend the national rally, just shown at Motorclassica. It certainly was used as intended by the previous Australian owner (former Qld FCA president Ray Helm) who rebuilt it in the 80s. An article on his restoration is in the Aussie section.

    Thanks. As soon as I find my super humor pants, I'll just venture in to the Aussie section. Did R.H. record/share any stories of extended travels with it, in print or in Aussie section ?

    LOL - I'll save you having to get your flame suit out! https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/interesting-old-ferraris-from-australias-past.562283/#post-145624915 Ray drives all of his cars 'as intended' and tells wonderful stories of the good old days. Some of us here would love to see his stories collected... Also, back up that page a bit is another interesting Aussie story about a 250LM.
