NAME THAT RACE CAR VI !!!!

[Deleted]

I know what it says on the back of the print, but it doesn't compute with what I thought it was. Preston Lerner's Scarab book mentions it near the end, but I haven't found any other shots of it? Easy for you guys I'm sure.

Look like a 1964/65 Ferrari 275P,maybe a 330P?

These others are all labeled 330P or 330P2 and hence my confusion. And what is the Mecom model version in the upper right? Thanks

[gwadagone]

The 330P #30,was drove by Pedro Rodriguez & Graham Hill at the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1965.This car was co-owned by the NART-Canada & John Mecom.

Is it any wonder I'm confused?

This has a color picture from the same race, but calls it a 275P.
(in error I would suspect)

This has a few great shots of two versions of the 330 and two 275P, #32 & #33 from the 1965 Sebring race... I love the color shot under the MG banner. Does anyone know if there are decals for the MGB #48? I have the Aoshima MGB race kit and this would make a great 3 car diorama... you could rework the Monogram 275P to this configuration, yes?

There is also a shot of the Mecom 250LM, which BTW was done by Burago in 1/24 die-cast. I'll try and find mine and shoot it. Very nice decals for the Academy kit.

And finally I threw it up on FerrariChat.com to see what they had to say and got this: "N.A.R.T. 330P 4.0 at the 1964 GP Canada, Mosport", chassis No. 0824. (with some added commentary...)

Yea! My most favorite Ferrari sports and great driver!!! ;D Lodovico Scarfiotti in Luigi Chinetti's NART 330P at the '64 Bridge Double 500. This is a car I don't have and if someone has one I am interested in taking it off your hands. Hint-hint. I remember the Sports Car Graphic issue that showed a group of Italian looking fellows with the caption, "Come on'na Fusari!" Ah, good memories.

Speaking of 330P & 275P racers, I just got the new Scale Auto in the mail and Andy Kellock's "Bench Racer" column highlights a Tamiya Ferrari 330P2 slot car conversion with some nice historical details.

I didn't realize (where have I been?) they had re-released the Porsche Carrera 6, Lola T70, Lotus 30, Lotus 40 as well as the Elva McLaren slot bodies, but now I know... I see they have been discontinued!

HobbyLink Japan shows it, but only has the King Cobra... until I tried to place an order for one and then it showed discontinued on that as well.

Go figure.

I have a Strombecker 330 P2

and a Tamiya 330 P2. The Tamiya is a bit smaller than the Strombecker. I feel that the Strombecker body looks more correct, but don't know for sure. I also had a K&B 330 P2...

It was made as the prototype car. The Strombecker body is the Daytona 24 Hour car, but awaits a proper windscreen. I haven't seen the SAE mag yet.

Many of the Tamiya reissued bodies cab still be found on evilbay.....
