I did a photoshoot of 09057 in 1997, when John G. owned it. It was at Moroso, we parked it between the last two turns and I got busy with my tripod.
I kept looking over my shoulder though because there was a big gator in the canal behind me making a lot of grunting noises. A bit distracting but I had to keep an eye on its whereabouts; they were prone to come out onto the tarmac occasionally!

I may be wrong but I do not think that Ferrari made any interim Long Nose 275 GTBs. From some research I did on another 275 GTB with a Long Nose, that was otherwise as a Short Nose, and that had been stated to be an interim Long Nose 275 GTB prototype, the car turned out to have been a Short Nose that had been renosed to Long Nose. Quite a few original Short Nose 275 GTBs were renosed to Long Nose.

 

Found some interesting photos of a 275 from back in 1983, i believe. The photo was at from a show in Victor, New York, near Rochester. Anyone know this car?

Straight ear for Campys, curved ear for Borrani.

 

and Hand vs Horse ?

 

yes
campy horse straight
borrani hand curved

 

No.
The Campagnolo type 32 straight-ear knock-off is yes for the 275 star-burst or square-hole Campagnolo magnesium wheels. The curved-ear Borrani type 32 knock-offs for a 275 have concave centers (the inner area of the center is actually flat) with the horse engraved, not the Borrani hand. People are practical; if they drive their cars, sometimes swap spinners - if they have a spare imperfect utility set of one type, save a concours set of another type.for show.

So do all curved ear 32 hub knock-offs have the Cavallino and not the Hand; is this the case for 250LM and 275 GTB/C? Let's not get into Pininfarina badges--left, right or both! Thank you.

 

First, never use the word "all" in the context of old Ferraris. I will risk further comment and run for cover. 275 GTB/C seem to have the Cavallino; here an interesting photo from 09015; note the detail markings on the spinner in this case if you enlarge the photo. I am not knowledgeable enough about the details of the 250LM to know if they have type 42 or type 32 hubs. However, the Paris Salon 250LM, 5149, had convex domed Borrani spinners with the hand logo it appears, yet an assembly line factory photo of an LM shows a convex spinner that looks to have the hand logo. Take your pick. Presentation photos of 275 Competizione 08885 seem to show concave spinners with the Borrani hand logo, but hard to tell. Many variations, but my previous post goes to my observation of the typical production 275 spinner protocol, no doubt exceptions likely, and the concave type 32 Borrani spinner may have been made with the hand engraving also.

Excellent, thank you. 250LM has 32 hubs.
