Does anyone have a reference to Nino Vaccarella's result in this 1962 event, driving Volpi's Ferrari TRI/61?

In the results on the Euromontagna site he’s listed in the ‘Not Classified’ section, but with no indication as to what happened to him:

Thank you Tim - as always happens, once I'd posted the question I found the answer myself, in 'Motoring News', tiny print - Nino won the over 2-litre class.   His time was 0.6secs quicker than Sepp Greger's 1700 Porsche which won the feature European Mountain Championship-qualifying 2-litre category.  I guess that's why the 3-litre Ferrari's performance wasn't actually given much prominence.

Automobile Revue has Vaccarella 3rd overall behind Bonnier (Porsche F1) and Scarfiotti (2.0 Ferrari). Greger won the European classification which aggregated both runs, but was only 5th overall in BTD competition.

Thanks very much Michael (again).

There is a photograph in Vaccarella’s autobiography.
