That Rainbow was origially white..and supposedly there was only one prototype built...does anyone know where it is now or who owns it? I do...(sort of) It has been sold and now resides in private hands....anyone? Bueller?
Dang, I can't find a chassis number. 07/19/64. Surtees finished 2nd that day in the 158's debut (also a debut of the monocoque chassis). Teamate Lorenzo Bandini who was still running the previous V6 156 Aero punted Grahm Hill ensuring Surtees's championship. Three weeks later the car would win at the Nurburgring.
The car is on Bertone's website here: http://www.bertone.it/en/scheda_70_rainbow_en.htm. It was also at the Museum of Science in Technology in Milan on display a few months ago.
bravo! just curious, how did you know the location by the picture? and how can you tell a type 156 from a type 158?
The 156 and 156 aero didn't have those cooling slats in front of the suspension mounts openings. The photo can be found with a full race summary on the Solitude website.
I always found Oro Chiaro Metallic to be closest to gold. I saw it once years ago on a '91 TR with brown interior, it was oh so tasteful.
Correct! Darkhorse575 - 1 point Pranucci - 1 point NNO - 1 point Round 4..(name and S/N) Image Unavailable, Please Login
NNO was correct, however he failed to say the name of the car, so you are awarded the point. Darkhorse575 - 1 point Pranucci - 1 point NNO - 1 point vur - 1 point You guys are getting these too quickly.. Round 5... (just name the car) Image Unavailable, Please Login
Your knowledge amazes us all. The picture was taken from the manual for the 166 Inter, 166MM, 212 Inter, and the 340 America. NNO - 2 points Darkhorse575 - 1 point Pranucci - 1 point vur - 1 point Round 6.. Trivia Question: Who did NART get it's name from, and how was s/he inspired to name it that?
