      Look at those skinny bias tires and big sidewalls.

                    250 "Breadvan" at Mugello Historic Festival, 2008. Good noise.



                    I learned some good stuff about it...

                    "At Ferrari there was a"palace revolt" at the end of October, 1961. This dispute, between Enzo's wife and several key employees, forced many workers to leave and find work elsewhere. Among them were engineers Carlo Chiti and Giotto Bizzarrini, and 1961 Formula 1 world champion Phil Hill. One of the final projects the team was working on at Ferrari was the 250 GTO racer, which was eventually completed by Mauro Forghieri and the final bodywork was performed by Scaglietti."

                    "Shortly after the employees departure this group set up their own company, ATS (Automobili Turismo Sport), to take on their former employer in single seater and sports car racing with Count Giovanni Volpi di Misurata as one of the financial backers. Count Volpi, owner of the Scuderia Serenissima Republica di Venezia (SSR), had ordered two Ferraris 250 GTO but when Enzo Ferrari found out Bizzarrini and Chiti worked for the Count, the team's 250 GTO orders were canceled. Through some friends he did eventually get an example, but he wanted more for his assault at Le Mans for the 1962 season."

                    "The Count had a very fast 'SEFAC Hot Rod' 250GT SWB (# 2819 GT), which had formerly been driven by Gendebien, Trintignant, Hill and Scarfiotti. After Giotto Bizzarrini had left ATS, he remanufactured, with the help of Neri and Bonacini for the mechanical work, this 2819 for Volpi's Scuderia to near 250 GTO specs. Bizzarrini moved the engine 12 cm further back to the center of the chassis than the GTO, and lowered it by fitting a dry sump system. The car was completed in a recordbreaking 14 days. The body work was done by Piero Drogo Carrozzeria Sports Cars in Modena, utilizing the aerodynamics theory of Dr. Kamm at the rear."

                    So it was lighter, more aero, and slightly faster than the GTO, but not as reliable because of lack of a development budget. Enzo Ferrari successfully lobbied to have it run with prototypes instead of sportscars, so there was no head-to-head with the GTOs in '62.

                    And now you know!

                        I'm happy to clean up! Those are sweet! I love the S Moss SWB #74. And that little 22, is that a 4 cyl Mondial spider? Looks so odd with that tall bar, doesn't it

                        Great shots - I like the door shot of 74.

                        PS - we're all jealous that you got to see and hear all of those. Must have been amazing.
