250 LM Picture Thread

As far as I know the car just came out of the resto, was rebuild ....and shunted again!

Ciao!

you can find some pics of the restoration on the website of DK engineering.

 

Hi I know how you feel. I have been collecting pictures for several years now and have over 4000. The copyright rules are clear and my pictures are strictly for my collection and the individual files I have on early Ferrari cars.I have no equipment to post or send pictures and you will notice in my posts that I refer to a certain picture but do not post it.. If you change you mind you can e-mail me at [email protected] thanks tongascrew

 

Wow!! Poor car.

 

Drogo nose, isn't it?

 

Exhaust appear wrong. Normal LM has four pipes are approximately parallel to the ground extending underneath the body work. Also, normal finish for the scoops on the nose lid (at least in non-Drogo) should be clear.

And the rear-view mirrors, the lights too... Is it a replica?

 

Apparently a replica with Ford V8 and no real Ferrari components whatsoever...

 

Named.....?
The proportions are not good, particulary the footing... (Is this the English for empattement?)

 

Enzo,

Footprint (wheelbase).

Best,
Dave

 

Thank you very much!
I have to improve my English!

 

Heck you have to respect the fact that no real Ferrari was destroyed to make this replica, even if it does not look quite right.

The guy/builder/owner wanted to pay homage and did so and can hold his head high that no genuine old Ferrari was sacrificed to make this car. I applaud.

Only problem is the Ferrari emblems, then.

 

Yes agree.

Pete

 

Be sure and get these while you can!!!

Must be pretty rare!

 

Looks like an El Camino..

 

Just to add another coal on the fire !! There were actually 2 different longnose versions .
The Drogo was an integral part of the car, but a better idea was the nose on my old car 6119.
This also had a longnose conversion, but it was detachable, allowing access to the whole front end. This was made by Franco Sbarro, when he was a race mechanic for the Filipinetti team. Don

 

Thank you!

 

Here are a few snaps taken at Anthony Bamford's in 1971, showing 5907 (and 6119).
