Ferrari Classics in Bahrain

Nice. I guess Jim will be mad that there is another P4/5 there. You have any cars in the show?

 

Thanks Mr. A some great Ferrari history present there! The yellow NART Spyder would be a nice compromise between old and new...

First, when I saw the yellow 206sp, I thought: "Maibe it coul be the Jim's one..."

Then, when I saw the p4/5 I had the confirmation!

Its the only one!!

Fantastic varied display.
Good race result too

 

He'll even be more mad when he sees that Pininfarina pulled a fast one on him and didn't tell him there were 2 of his Dino


410SA, great photos! Thanks for sharing! btw, it seems the sand didn't do your lense any good

 

Alex,
Is the black California the one being auctioned in Maranello this may??

 

Thanks for posting. Looks like that 275gtb made it just fine. Looks great!

 

Wow, what a display. Some very famous cars there. I see a certain drummer from a certain '70ies prog rock band sent his Daytona Competizione.

The 500TR (yellow/black car) was at Goodwood Revival in September. Gorgeous car.

Very nice, thanks for posting.

Excuse me! I don't know the story of the Dino Competizione. I confused it with a 206sp. Very stupid error!

But I'll see it at Villa d'Este on april, the 27th..

Surely I'll find more informations before to write something stupid twice.

I must say that Napolis is very generous when it comes to loaning his cars for display, Bravo. I personally know many notable collectors who would not even consider such a thing.

 

OK, so who is going to list all the serial numbers? Some we can figure out but I am fealing lazy. As for others I am cettain they are not readily apparent.

Make that 0742TR, the ex-Scuderia Askolin car. I wish somebody would correct the nose one day...

 

Thank you for the photos: is that "Bugatti blue" 275GTB the one of José Albuquerque? #?

Thanks for letting me know!

Is the Dino 246F1 one of the Graypaul built/Anthony Bamford cars? - more recently raced by Dickie Atwood, Patrick Tambay and Gregor Fisken at the Goodwood Revival?

The 512BBLM also belongs to Nick Mason.

 

Beyond cool. Thanks so much for posting

 

Exquisite pictures............thanks for posting.

 

Was that all of the cars? We just worked on a 410 SA that was supposed to be in that display. It looks like there are some empty spots, so maybe some more cars were added later?

Thanks for posting. I believe JG was personally invited by the Crown Prince of Bahrain to bring his newly acquired Dino and the P4/5.

 

Yes, it's buried in the thread about Max, his plans to attend..

Very nice photos and thanks for posting them for us!

 

perhaps a stupid comment, but...
I hope events like this won't arouse the interest for vintage and classic cars in the "oil countries"
can anyone tell me how the locals reacted on these cars, or were they mostly interested in the newer models?

interest from there would highly change the market demand, and thus prices.
and that'd kill my dream of ever owning a 250SWB...

 

Thanks!
