    I was initially just going to ask who designed and built the bodies of the 330 P3, P4 and 412P Sports Prototypes as although I've read that it was Piero Drogo, I've also seen somewhere that they were designed by somebody called Rochi. As I'm thinking about this I've also seen Drogo associations made with the 250 LM. Anyway, I was wondering if somebody could clarify who designed the bodies of the 250P, 250 LM, 330P2, 330P3, 330P4, 412P, 312P, 512S and 512M and also who actually built the bodies? Thanks very much in advance for any replies.

    I seem to remember that he was an engineer and was the engine dessigner of late 4-cam P car motors-most famous for 330 P/4 and the 512 S and M motors..

    I believe that as far as fabrication, it was Fantuzzi that built the bodies for all of the cars in the 800's throught the P4. Drogo modified several of the P series making the original Fantuzzi body smoother and more aerodynamic (P2 to P2/3). After that is was Cigala and Berlinetti of Turin for the 312P and the fiberglass panels of the 512 series.

    250 LM was a Pininfarina design that was fabricated by Scaglietti for all but the first car. Drogo re-nosed several LM to a long nose configuration.
