Good morning all, I'm writing from Italy and am doing researches on the Ferrari 250/275 LM with VIN #6167, painted dark green. It was exported as new to Australia with David McKay's #6321 (today in Lauren's ownership) but it was with importer Bill Howe for a couple of years as a demonstrator car and for articles and private test drives. Maybe you can suggest any photo, Archive or magazine where this car appears? It was exhibited at the '65 Melbourne Motor Show. Maybe you can help me to locate other material (magazines, Archives,...). Thank you very much. My best regards

Bill Lowe, not Howe. I'm sure someone will have more material for you.

There are two pages with information and list of races regarding #6167 in Marcel Massini`s "Ferrari 250 LM"/Osprey 1983.

If of interest I can send scans via e-mail.

And very similar information of #6167 in Arnaud Meunier`s "250 LM *5895* Maranello Concessionaires", Chapter 5: 250 LM Register/Editions 2019

Regarding W. H. Lowe...

 

He raced a Lombard in the Australian Grand Prix each year from 1929 to 1934 after first having driven a 2-litre Metallurgique in the 1928 race.

Thank you very much. Can you send a copy of scans? Your images taken with the phone would be ok. They would be needed just to understand how they looks

 

Thank you very much

Is this such a secret?

 

Maybe you could post the scans here?
