Need some help with identifying what year is this Ferrari? Early 50's I presume.

I'm pretty sure it's from 60's.

Looks like a Ferrari 312/68 as it was used in the early races of 1968, before the wings arrived at Monaco.

Moved the thread to Nostalgia, as it's more than likely to find confirmation there

I'd agree. Ferrari 312 from early 1968.

Looks like the 67 Ferrari. See this link: http://www.ferrari.i...=F1&CAR_ID=2023

The difference between it and the 68 from the picture I could see was that the 68 had a rear wing.

I am not a nostalgia nut so I also defer to the comment Marcel Schot made.

Garth, looking at the pictures from that site, it looks more like the 1966 312 to me. Still there are some differences.

I defenetly think it's a 312 from 1968, with no wings. Here is a pic of the 68 Ferrari from Ferrari.it.

You can look at the rear view mirrors, the rear suspention and the "flaps" on the front (cant find a better name for them...).

Yes, this surely looks like it

[QdfV]

The number is still different though ;)

Nah, can't be a 1966 one. Totally different backend as well as multiple 'air intakes' on the front.

The number is still different though

Since obviously numbers were given on a race by race basis

According to this year's Monterey Historics Program, this car
belongs to Todd Morici. It is in fact chassis #0007. It was one of the chassis Derek Bell drove. He fact he drove it at Goodwood
last, I believe.

This photo was taken at the Historic Grand Prix tent at this
year's race.

[Allen Brown]

That little grey #10 sticker says it was at Goodwood recently.

If it's 0007, it is a 1967 car updated to 1968 specification. It was driven eight times by Chris Am*n and twice by Derek Bell.

Just to tie in David's and Allen's posts - I can confirm it is the Morici car, chassis number 0007 and it was at Goodwood this year, numbered 10. Saw it there with my own eyes - an impressive piece of kit!

And, as you may guess by the name of this poster- it's digression time!;) Pardon my ignorance, but what is that blue car right next to it? Thanx in advance...

A March 701, if I am not mistaken.

[zppd]

Thanks for all your help! I took this picture but forgot to note what year was it. Should have looked at the Historic Race's www site. Doh!

D Kane - I guess you were at the Historic Race also. That was my first time. Had one heck of a time out there. But was there on Sunday instead of Saturday...so I missed the F1 race.

Believe the blue car is a March. If any of you want to digress more, I can put a better picture up.

March 701 - an ex-Tyrrell car judging from the bodywork.

But I think it's actually David Hankin's 701/10.

[Roger Clark]

0007 was the first 312 Ferrari to have 4-valves per cylinder. you can distinguish it from the earlier 3-valve cars by the fact that the inlet valves are outside the camshafts. The earlier cars had the inlets between the cams.

I think Allen is right about the March. The colour is too light for Tyrrell; see the Tyrrell car behind.
