Ivan Goriup Posted June 18 Share #23541 Â Posted June 18 Advertisement (gone after registration) Not an Aston-Martin, no US involvement ( at least not at the time this car was designed & introduced) - but Philip's post #23540 at least got it into the general ballpark. It's not a long way off from the puzzle car which preceded the 512 Series. If no additional guesses are received by tomorrow sometime, I will post another clue.

Ah! OK; is it a 312P Berlinetta of 1969 / '70 vintage (possibly chassis No. 0870)? Philip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Goriup Posted June 18 Share #23544  Posted June 18 Philip, you seem to be on a roll lately......it is a 1968 Ferrari 312P Berlinetta, - according to the owner's framed placard, the serial number is # 872. Three of this prototype model were produced, two as Spyders, of which one was later re-bodied as a Berlinetta, and this car, which started out as the only Coupe from the start. For a short time it looked like ol' Enzo might be on to a winner with his 312 P series....but Porsche introduced the 917 around that time and we all know how that went. Your turn, and thanks for participating. JZG Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted June 18 Share #23547 Â Posted June 18 Advertisement (gone after registration) Is that a V12 or does it use the later flat 12 as we used to have in our 1971 312PB (the ex-Ronnie Petersen car) ? Wilson Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was, in essence, exactly the same 3.0 litre V12 as was used in the '68 / '69 F1 cars. 1 hour ago, Ivan Goriup said: The owner-supplied placard that accompanied this car... Hmmm.... Small detail but according to my sources #0872 didn't take part at Le Mans in 1969; the two cars which raced bore chassis numbers 0868 and 0870. In that race the latter-named car was running in 8th place until the 16th hour when it was retired for (apparently) problems with the gear-box which was compounded by an oil leak. The former fared a far worse fate. Before the first hour was out John Woolfe, driving a 917, hit the barriers hard at Maison Blanche and his Porsche caught fire. Chris Amon, in the 312P, ran into the fuel-tank of the 917 which had been ripped off in the accident. Amon, thankfully, was able to extract himself from the destroyed Ferrari but Woolfe, tragically, lost his life. Chassis #0872, on the other hand, did compete in the 1970 race and was running in sixth place when, unfortunately, it developed troubles with the ignition. It crossed the line in 10th position but hadn't covered the required mileage and was, therefore, unclassified. Very pretty cars and although I have them featured in a few books here none of those has the photograph I remember seeing which showed the distinctive engine cover / louvres. I must put my thinking-cap on to try to remember where I saw it first... Busy with work at the mo' but will endeavour to sort something out in a bit!

From what I can work out #0868 was due to be raced at Le Mans in 1969 and the entry forms filled out, so when #0868 was destroyed at Monza #0872 was renumbered in typical Ferrari fashion to take it's place on the grid. So #0872 did race at Le Mans in 1969 but in disguise. The original number transferred back to the car after the Le Mans fire. Anyway here's one in 1/43 scale I made earlier  Welcome, dear visitor!

Thanks very much for that info, Steve, as I was slightly confused because I would have thought that the current owner would have done considerable research on the history of his car. What gave my sources some credibility was that one was the 4th edition of the Hans Tanner tome on the marque which had only been updated from the peceding edition a few years after the 1969 event and Mr. Tanner usually does due diligence. I thought that I had read that the third 312P wasn't completed until 1970 but am probably mistaken. Nice Kit! Which marque is it? As a youth I used to spend all my pocket money - quite literally - on them. Happy days! Perhaps once I retire I will go back to the hobby?... Philip.

No, Wilson, not a Tatra of any sort although the mystery car's timeline did, for a short period, overlap with that of the T87. Philip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Philip, a basic Tameo kit was the donor, everything else under the skin, engine, interior, opening doors and tail, lift off panels and the chassis underneath, opening fuel filler caps etc. is scratch built. I think the owners view of the chassis number matches the wider archives but doesn’t note the change of number for Le Mans in ‘69 to allow a race entry.
