This car does have a V12 engine, derived from Formula 1 and it is a 312P.

We must not confuse the 312 PB, which it vaguely resembles, see a photo below and have flat 12 engine derived from formula one too.

It has a complicated story that I summarizes:

This car was manufactured in 2 copies of which were barchetta and have been transformed into berlinetta to run the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1968.

This one has the chassis 0872. It has undergone a transformation and is the first back tray, keeping its original lines, and then went through the form shown in the photo Nigel Smuckatelli.

It is further amended in 1974 to run Le Mans, see my picture above, and begins to resemble a 312 PB without having the beauty of the lines.

It was restored recently and has found its berlinetta of beautiful forms.
