    Let's hope it did not!!




    (0619GT/0805GT might not be the best example in terms of body originality...)

    NOT in the case of 0895 GT.
    0895 GT is the first single louvre TDF. NOT a 3-louvre.
    The factory issued the certificate of origin for 0895 GT on the 21st March 1958. Six days later, on the 27th March 1958, it was registered on Italian license plates of Florence "FI 107004" for the first owner Dr. Cesare Marchi, born on the 16th September 1909 in Capannori, Italy, resident at Via Ferdinando Bartolommei 8, Florence, Italy. Marchi was a doctor in chemistry.
    Here is the scan of the old Italian ACI registration document confirming the dates, chassis number, license plate, names, etc. You can even see that Dr. Marchi paid Italian Lire 5'500'000 for the brand new 0895 GT.
    The old color photo shows Mrs. Marchi, wife of original owner Dr. Cesare Marchi. This was taken end of March 1958, note also license plate and especially the ONE Louvre. Two years later, by March 1960, Marchi had sold the car.

    Thank you so much for the clarification Marcel. The car obtained its full red book classiche certificate at the Factory in Maranello on October 14, 2015 and all the documentation, images and the film, at the request of the factory, have been taken into their permanent archives.

    On January 23, 2016 the car was awarded a Platinum award at the Palm Beach Cavallino Classic.

    Here is a picture of the car in July 2015 getting it's final inspection at the Classiche department at the factory.

    Thanks Marcel for the corrected information.

    The controversy has always arisen that the car originally left the Factory as a 3-Louvre model and subsequently after Dr. Marchi's disposal, it returned to the Ferrari Factory, where it was then converted to a 1-Louvre model.

    Currently at least half a dozen websites list 0895GT as a 3-Louvre model.

    Yes indeed, misinformation just gets copied from one source to another. I am very happy to have documented this car with extensive records from the descendants of the first owners and other owners and with the help of experts like Marcel, the factory and the specialists in Modena (who still employ some of the guys, now in their 70s and 80s, who worked on these cars in period), it has been possible to restore the car to exactly the way that it was, including the exact color combination. It has been an exciting project which, including all the research, has taken 9 years.

    I have read many times that the TdF model was the most successful GT racing car, having more wins that any other model including GTO. Does anyone have a full list of all TdF model wins?

    It probably was, at first i believed the swb was the most victorious one, but i was probably wrong....i didn´t knew much about the TDF but the more i look at it, the more i like it, it really is a very beautifull car. Just as an aside, wich would be more valuable, a tdf or an Swb (alloy)...If we could match both cars with similar race pedigree?

    I've found this picture on the web (copyright unknown).

    The event may be the German GP 1961 ( or 1962 ?) at Nurburgring .
    The truck is the 682RN Bartoletti.

    The questions :
    - Why a 250 TDF with race numbers was on that truck jointly at two F1 cars ?
    - Which 250 TDF was that car ?

    Ciao

    Comp SWB more valuable which means TdF very very undervalued :)

    Judging by the pit building it's the Nurburgring.
