    Hi, I am looking for help and hope I might find it here. Hard to find so many real experts in one place.

    I am trying to find out how the interiors of a 212 Touring Berlinetta Le Mans originally were. I looked for reference materials but did not come up with anything really satisfactory and convincing.

    I have (but could not attach it, I have not been able to upload the file - anybody interested can ask and I will mail it) a photo of the interior of 0026MM, indeed a Touring Berlinetta Le Mans, but, obviously, a 166. And there are some substantial diffeerences (not only engine wise) between 166s and 212s.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    That is a very complex side window. Great photo.

    Yes exactly. By the way, great picture of 0112E. I am trying to figure out what kind of mats, covers etc. were used.

    The pic was in a bunch of amateur pics of 0042M at Le Mans. You are right, it is no25 from Le Mans.
    Kare suggests no25 was 0026M. I also would like to know the reason as many publications indicate it was 0060M that was entered at Le Mans under no25. 0026M was the Mille Miglia winner and in 1950 was only driven by G.Marzotto.

    0026M as raced in Le Mans in 1950 by Sommer and Serafini. All Ferrari books are filled with errors, show me a good Ferrari book and I show you pigs that fly! Best wishes, Kare

    PS. anyone willing to speculate which engine was it using at this time and which car did they borrow that bonnet from?

    Thanks you, very much Kare, so I'm surprised, even Symbolic give this car as 0060M in a sale leaflet. I'm afraid by the idea, that I will never see a flying pig....

    Geat picture, thank you. What I am trying to find out is how the interiors were when the car left the factory.
    I have seen some restored cars, but I not sure that, nice as these interiors are, they are coherent with the real thing.
