A controversial car "The Ferrari P3/P4 James May drove in episode 6 is a replica which James Glickenhaus bought from the racing driver David Piper in 2000. It was described by Mr Piper as a replica and that is what Mr Glickenhaus agreed to buy and bought. Since then Mr Glickenhaus has embarked on a campaign to prove this car is the genuine long lost Ferrari 330 P3/4 #0846 which was discarded and written off by Ferrari after burning at Le Mans 1967. He has gone to great lengths to make it look like the genuine car. Unfortunately there are many features on the car which prove it is not Ferrari 330 P3/4 #0846. Earlier this year [2016] James Glickenhaus published Ing. Mauro Forghieri's letter of chassis authentication dated 14 March 2016 without making public the fuller letter by Ing. Forghieri dated 23 February 2016 which states that the number 0846 no longer exists as it has been cancelled by Ferrari and that this number cannot legally be used......" - https://www.facebook.com/thegrandtour/posts/10209670555353366 There is a 489-page forum thread on this car - no, I haven't read it - and Glickenhaus's version at http://p45c.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/project.pdf and some info at http://p45c.com/the-garage/ferrari-p34-0846/ . We have a genuine 0846 sighting from 1967 Le Mans at /vehicle_225637-Ferrari-330-P3-4-0846.html . |
