Can anyone point me towards a possible source of a photograph showing Ferrari 250GTO/64 race number '27' competing in the 1964 Reims 12-Hour race? Thus far I have drawn a blank...decent pix of every entry but this one...

This seems to fit the bill:

4-B18-FC55-90-B1-4608-B9-E3-BEAF22-D13-F

Found here: http://acar-reims-64...g-grid.html?m=1

I can’t find any clues as to where the photo originated.

Nothing in Maurice Loche, Emotion Ferrari, but he may have some in his huge archive.
Sorry about a nil return. Apologies for the delay, started reading it and looking at the pics. Time fatal........

I thought, for a moment, that I'd found another photo, this time in colour but, coincidentally I assume, the Bob Grossman/NART Ferrari was also #27 at Le Mans that year, where he shared the car with Fernand Tavano, a French driver of whom I have to admit I've never heard.

I'm not sure, but I think the racingsportscar website reference system suggests that it's the same car as the Reims GTO. Anyway, here's the Le Mans picture:

A Ferrari expert may know if the cars are identical but at least the layman can differentiate tight Le Mans shots from those at Reims by the front '27' roundels which are in a different style.

Thank you everybody - I have spent months seeking images of that Grossman/Hudson car at Reims, drawing a complete blank.

I finally swallow my pride to ask here and within 38 minutes a lead to the first shot appears, followed by others... I should have known better than to wield my grossly inadequate interweb 'skills' without seeking help here first. Superb. :clap:

According to the Bluemel/Pourrett book on the Ferrari 250 GTO the 1964 Reims #27 is chassis 5573 which is the same car as the Le Mans Tavano/Grossman entry. The same car was raced by John Surtees in that years TT.
