First deliveried were also taking place. I think 0357GT went to Pasquini in Italy, but would need a photo to confirm. 0361GT was now in USA, 0363GT had been crashed by J.J. Voos and shipped back to factory, no idea where 0365GT went, eventually kept by the factory for a while, which would explain destination "demonstrazione".
There were also 0367GT (de Rothschild’s car) and 0371GT (the 1956 Liège-Rome-Liège car to my opinion) around at this time…
One thing that bothers me : why does 0389GT (Pf job number 13946) have the features of the early cars ?
Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Ni-Cola posted these two pics some time ago. This (dark blue ?) Pf coupé has the features of an early car but can’t decide if it was 0371GT of 0389GT.
0387GT and 0389GT started in March 1955 were clearly design studies following the two Berlinetta concepts (0383GT-0385GT).
An "unknown" Ferrari with an illegible Italian license plate. Maybe registered in Siena ?? Any connection with 0305 EU ? Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login If the (dark blue ?) PF coupe in post #57 is really 0371GT (but Kare is probably right, as usual), then this one at Pinin Farina plant in February or March 1955 could match with Grigio Duco 1149, Pelle Blu VM 3315 (0367GT). You can see the new dashboard like 0373GT at Geneva Show but the interior mirror is still fixed under the roof.
I would think that 0367GT must have been the first one built with the small instrument cluster, which is also the reason they took photos of the interior at Pinin Farina. And we really have no alternatives for a medium colored car with a medium colored interior.
I would still like to reunite these & more with the right car, so if anyone knows where it is ...? And I'm pretty sure it's not the one in Netherlands. Image Unavailable, Please Login
In this thread (post #79), you will see pics of the car that could have had such a serial number plate. Apparently in Italy and restored like 0363GT was before its crash in 1955 but with soooooooo many errors ! https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/ferrari-250-europa-and-250-europa-gt-coupe-pf-official-picture-thread.654448/page-4#post-148349201
Interesting race on March 9, 1955: the races that day on Castle Combe included a 10 lap race for Production Touring Cars. One of the drivers was Berwyn Baxter. To quote Auto Sport( issue of April 15th) : Motor Sport (the May 1955 issue) reports: While they agree that Baxter was slow, which car was he driving?
The description (a car that doesn't look like to a Ferrari) makes think to a Ghia Berlina 4 Posti. Why not 0153EL which was raced in UK ?
