Aurora Collection

You got the answer already in the other thread ("pix found on internet"......), where you posted a screenshot.
If you check the RM Sotheby's website you will find pix of the 12 Ferraris including the chassis numbers:
0610 MDTR, 2347 GT, 2931 GT, 07563, 10337, 17055, 61055, 109822, 124198, 128412, 181258, 250235.
The story in "This is Money" (your link) is misleading and contains incorrect information.

0610 and 17055 are currently on display at the Techno Classica fair in Essen, Germany (12-16 April).

 

A pleasure to shoot this wonderful collection.

 

All the information is here directly from the auction house: https://rmsothebys.com/en/home/lots/ve23#?SortBy=Default&SearchTerm=&Category=All%20Categories&IncludeWithdrawnLots&Auction=VE23&OfferStatus=All%20Availability&AuctionYear=&Model=Model&Make=Make&FeaturedOnly=false&StillForSaleOnly=false&Collection=Offered%20From%20The%20Aurora%20Collection&TagLine=All%20Lots&WithoutReserveOnly=false&Day=All%20Days&TimedOnly=false&OneHubLinkOnly=false&AuctionedStatus=All%20Lots&page=1&pageSize=200

 

^ no. after market

 

To my (limited, since I wasn't there) understanding, many or perhaps even most Daytonas didn't have any outside mirror(s) mounted when they left the factory, but one or more, if needed, were installed by the selling dealer, so in theory, this could've been on the car since new.

 

i think the mirrors may have been supplied in the cardboard box along with the tools, manuals and paint can.

 

Dinos had a cardboard box and this is a listed item on the label

 

Yet, the mirror currently on the car could've been specified by and installed for the buyer after/during/prior the delivery, but again, who knows ? I know I wasn't there at the time.

More interestingly, at least to me, the auction description seems a bit obscure whether the current paint is the original application (i.e. by Scaglietti during production) or repaint done sometime later in the cars life.

 

Yes, just look at period pix.

Yes, correct.

Yes, correct.

In the day, all you got in Italy, with a new car, was an inside rear-view mirror. No laws to outside, left or right.

Early 70's along with a replacement MOMO leather wheel, was the "Vitaloni California" door mirror. The mirror to have.

What is the difference between a 500TR and a 500 Mondial? The Scaglietti built cars look identical, plus I presume the engines and transaxles are the same. Is the difference in the suspensions?

 

The Scaglietti built Mondials and 500 TRs are certainly not identical. 500 Mondials have rear mounted transaxles, whereas 500TRs have front mounted gearboxes.

 

Thanks. Both out of my price point but I do like the 500 cars. The Admiral's car is great.

 

There were differences in the suspension too with the Mondial utilising a De Dion arrangement and the 500 TR a live rear axle. Gears were crash on the 500 MD and synchromesh on the 500 TR I believe.
