Dream Drive: London to Maranello and Back

Photo Gallery

Hidden away in a barn southwest of London sits chassis 112. Originally a roadster chassis, it ran once as a works car powered by a 289 V8 at the Nürburgring 1000 KM driven by Attwood and Whitmore. Later rebuilt with coupe bodywork, it was outfitted for the road, painted red with white leather trim with a redesigned dash. It was purchased in 1973 by its current owner, whose engineering firm fabricated race transporters that were used by the GT40 teams. Now orange, the car has resided in its current location, sans engine and transmission, since the late Seventies, awaiting its turn to be restored.
