    The brow does resemble Madness at Mid Ohio Marc, but the armco barriers and minimal groundskeeping do not. Mid Ohio is usually green and neat as a pin.

    Exactly...it is not Riverside or Laguna because they have zero grass...so Road Atlanta is my bet, hard to figure out where that is!

    It's been a while we spoke about s/n 1044.
    Racing for the official Ferrari works team, the car got a 7th place (overall and in its 5.0l class) at the 1970 1000 km of Spa and a dnf at 1970 24h of Le Mans. Converted shortly after that to "M".
    Herbert Müller bought the car and kept it for about 2 years and a half, participating in numerous Interseries races, winning a couple of 1 st places, several times in Hockenheim, Dijon.
    In 1972 the car caught fire and was seriously damaged.
    Many changes of ownership over the next 3 decades, amongst others the both famous Albert Obrist (Switzerland) and Fabrizio Violati (Italy).
    SInce 1999 it was in the hands of Dutchman John Bosch.
    There seems to have been a Classiche Certification in 2018, not sure if the car was still in Bosch' possession at that moment.
    1044 is believed to be in the US today, says barchetta.cc, but I am not so sure about that.....
    There is apparently a major dispute over the heritage of Jan Bosch (John's father, who died in 2006) and, believing what some newspapers recently wrote, this very 512 M and a 288 GTO seem to have disappeared.
    As internet is full of pix of 1044 from the seventies, here some rather rare pictures, amongst others of a restoration by the great Dutch specialist Hans Roelofs.

    Please note that Albert Obrist never owned 1044.

    Thank you. Sorry for the error. Some sources, like barchetta.cc and others, really state that Albert Obrist once owned 1044. Pityful mistakes.
    I realise there's a lot of wrong info on these cars on internet.
    I double checked and apparently Obrist had 1010, and a replica 1010R, constructed around an original engine.

    Obrist also owned 1006.
    Got it from Michael Vernon 19 April 1983 and sold it to Peter Kaus 1989.
    Obrist paid GB Pounds £ 61'000 in 1983.

    BTW, barchetta.cc has "???" behind the name "Albert Obrist", so it is obvious for everybody that this note is in question.

    Thanks for reminding, but is not so obvious, I'd say.
    barchetta.cc has "???" behind CH, so that's not so clear.
    Besides that, what's the purpose of ???, what's a "maybe" worth?
    BTW, also this one got it wrong:

    Going through a lot of the boxes of things from my teen years, just found this. Interesting stamps depicting rare/exotic/racing cars seem to always come from the most unlikely nations or territories. It is normal stamp size, 4,7cms wide, 3,3 tall.

    Remember this Marc ? Heller 1/24 scale model with Jacky Ickx driving hard. And same n°28 as on your stamp with Andretti I think.

    Swiss entrepreneur and race driver Herbert Müller, the man who owned no fewer than six Ferrari 512 S, passed away 39 years ago (after a collison of his Porsche at the Nürburgring 24 May 1981).
    Herbie owned (and campaigned) Ferrari 512 S chassis #1004, 1008, 1016, 1036, 1044 and 1046.
    This picture shows a young Herbert Müller at Le Mans 1965.

    It has the livery of 1002 and I see from Barchetta here that it had the fake number 1030 on it on this date. All these replicas have no Ferrari chassis number whatsoever.

    I think this car was in Toronto for service when Remo Ferri had his independent shop. Mr Giordano also had/has a red 275 GTB I recall with a rather unique blue and white angled repeating stripes between the tail lights. Probably 40 years ago now...
