Just compare those 2 cars: - car #20 (Muro/Pola) at Buenos Aires on page 264, top right (top left being another car BTW) of Ferrari Argentina. This is 0564 as captioned. - car #42 on post 164 above. IMO this is 0534. Cant you see different sides ? After that 0562 went to Sebring (#34, Pola/Muro, yes) but I believe it had not appeared in Venezuela before that. Photos of 0562 in venezuela later on bave been posted here at Caracas-Cumana-Caracas 57 (Dominguez) and Pedro Garcia 58 (19 Dominguez) and - as I said it before - its not the same car than the yellow stuff at El Castano because by then 0562 had lost its high sides original bodywork since a long time. I have been studying the matter for a fairly long time in view of a book you may have heard of.
Thanks, I know that. It is the car that was rebuilt in "0564". I admit the relation with the car on post 164 is not obvious... hence my "". But that doesn't prove either that #42 was 0562.
PS: Also note the 3-eared hub-caps on #42 above, the car raced by Lollobridgida and the Trans-Oliver...
Marcel Massini[/QUOTE] Those modifications were made by the Zilio brothers in Maracay after one of them had a crash in Cucuta Colombia and they sold the car to Domingo Olavarria. The Ferrari Mecedes is still in Venezuela and cant be 0534 or 0562 in my opinion. branko PS I asked you before and maybe you didnt read, can I post some of your photos in my forum with the proper copyright mention? thanks
In MY copy of the book "Ferrari Argentina", page 264, it is captioned as 0562 M (NOT as 0564 M !!). Mr. Prunet, would you please be so kind and double-check YOUR copy of said book??? Marcel Massini
My copy is identical to yours... Yes there is a typo with 0564. But weren't we talking of 0562 and didn't I said "as captioned", Professor?
Fantastic. At least we agree that car number 20 at Buenos Aires 1956 was 0562 M (Muro-Pola). Thanks for clarification. PS: Any news re post #179 ? Marcel Massini
Sorry Branko, you are asking too much: these are scattered in several threads. But don't you know these (your) threads better than I do?
This is another shot of 0562M at Buenos Aires 1956 coming from a local newspaper article. 3 interesting Ferraris in one photo. Image Unavailable, Please Login
A couple of pictures at Los Proceres of a car that was reffered as "the yellow stuff" BTW I have received several e mails looking for info about this car. branko Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

Mr Prunet, I can see where you are coming from. Looks like the #30 car from the 1000km of Buenos Aires is the Ferrari Mercedes: http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/6092/baires56750mondial0562mh.jpg
Well #20 from Buenos Aires had a completely different shape, as Mr Prunet pointed out: http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/4475/baires56750mondial0562mwp.jpg
Hi Does anyone here have a chassis number for the central seat Ferrari #41 in Post 186 ? I suspect it is Chico Landi's 375 F1, which was converted to a sports car in the same way as was Rosier's. Thanks Ian
