Ferrari and a GT40

[BenL]

Automobilia Ladenburg had an interesting photo of a GT40 from 1966 in today's auction.

1966, B/W photo (Testi/Zagari photo print '80s), Enzo Ferrari and Mauro Forghieri inspecting a Ford GT40, 30x40cm

It sold for 1,700 Euros (well beyond the bid I submitted online).

The registration number appears to belong to 1048. It did several races in Italy in 1966, so it's not surprising that Enzo Ferrari and Mauro Forghieri took a look at it when they had the chance. Mauro was an engineer and designer at Ferrari. He was responsible for the 312, 330 P3 and P4.

... seems Enzo was not amused - in fact none of the guys in the picture ;-)

can almost hear him say "your fat and you build fat ugly cars"

you mean "il tuo grasso e costruisci macchine grasse e brutte..."? I doubt he ever really said this? ;-)

Enzo was not exactly what you’d call “Svelte“…. LOL
