stuny Posted September 3, 2006 Share #2 Posted September 3, 2006 Tony - Nice, and the red is well saturated. Though I couldn't guess at the model number is it Ferrari's 1st read engine F1 car? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambroving Posted September 3, 2006 Share #3 Posted September 3, 2006 Tony, No idea. This pre-dates the 156? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest flatfour Posted September 3, 2006 Share #4 Posted September 3, 2006 William - It's a 1962 car and is not a Ferrari. In fact I didn't know this car was even entered in a Grand Prix till I reaad the spiel in testerday's tribute to Phil Hill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambroving Posted September 3, 2006 Share #5 Posted September 3, 2006 Interesting? Was Phil there? Really nice man and a gent at all times. Glad he received a tribute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest flatfour Posted September 3, 2006 Share #6 Posted September 3, 2006 William - Yes he was. He hobbled out using a stick to greet his son after winning and got a great cheer. He was a real racer and it is so sad to see him like this. I don't know what illness he has but it's a great disappointment to everyone who knew him in his hayday. I saw him win Le Mans in 1958 with Olivier Gendebien in a Ferrari of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambroving Posted September 3, 2006 Share #7 Posted September 3, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Tony, Wonderful to hear he received such a warm reception. Haven't seen him for more than five years, but he was fine when he last visited NJ for a large, private Ferrari gathering at the house of one of my clients. Worked for his personal tuner in 1964 and 1965 and we had some fun times together. I guess he still lives in Miami. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elansprint72 Posted September 3, 2006 Share #8 Posted September 3, 2006 Is it a Porsche? I'm guessing because for the front suspension design (looks a bit like a fancy Beetle)! Is it an F1 or and F2? Or is it something really obscure like an ATS or an Etcetterini? I think I'll stick with Porsche, but why red? Cheers, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elansprint72 Posted September 3, 2006 Share #9 Posted September 3, 2006 No, I've changed my mind, it's not a Porsche! I give up!! Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest flatfour Posted September 3, 2006 Share #10 Posted September 3, 2006 Well done Pete. It's an ATS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steed Posted September 3, 2006 Share #11 Posted September 3, 2006 I knew that!! Designed by Carlo Chiti, engine by Derrington, and all around disaster. HIll's next FI and last ride was an uncompetitive Cooper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest flatfour Posted September 5, 2006 Share #12 Posted September 5, 2006 John - You don't mean Vic Derrington of Kingston do you ? - He of the noisy exhausts for road cars and special manifolds for manifold others . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steed Posted September 5, 2006 Share #13 Posted September 5, 2006 J'accuse. Actually I don't remember this Derrington's first name. The team was based upon some ex-Ferrari people and financed by a South American. A million dollars in potential, and not worth a dime on the trading table, as they say.
