This is a photograph I took at the Christie's International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1992 which featured a special display of Ferraris in the paddock numbered 1 to 32, and a page in the programme of the event gave details of each of the cars. It's a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta Competizione, chassis #2735GT, and is the Rob Walker entered car with which Stirling Moss won the 1961 Tourist Trophy race at Goodwood. The car was rebodied by Piero Drogo after competing in the 1962 Tourist Trophy race, but was restored in stages from the 1970s, the complete restoration being finished in 2009. The car on the left is a 1950 Ferrari 166 MM Touring Barchetta that the factory brought up to 195, and later to 212 specifications. Owned by Dudley Mason-Styrron it is chassis #0040M. On the right is a Ferrari 250 GT LWB Berlinetta Scaglietti TdF at the time owned by Peter Hannen and is chassis #1353GT.
The Rob Walker/Stirling Moss Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta competizione, chassis no. 2735
Chassis no. 2735 was one of only three right-hand drive Competition short-wheelbase cars. It was also the second Rob Walker/Stirling Moss GT Berlinetta, the other being chassis no. 2119.
It was also the only 250 GT Berlinetta to be raced in period by no fewer than three great drivers of the day – as well as Stirling Moss, it was also raced by Graham Hill and Innes Ireland.
The car was delivered to Le Mans on the 6th of June 1961, in Rob Walker colours, but to race for Luigi Chinetti's NART team. The car weighed in at 1107 Kilogrammes.

Chassis no. 2735 was the Ferrari most raced by Moss (five races out of 12 Ferrari drives) and also the car he won most races in. He describes it as the ‘best GT car in the world'.
The car was then bought by Chris Kerrison, painted silver and raced wîth some distinction, before crashing into John Surtees' GTO and Jim Clark's Aston Martin DB4 Zagato at the 1962 Goodwood Tourist Trophy. After this it was sent to Ferrari for repairs, but Kerrison then entrusted the car to Bizzarrini who had Drogo build a pseudo GTO on the chassis. The car was variously raced at Spa, the Nürburgring, the Tour de France and many British circuits. It was later owned and raced by the Hon. Patrick Lindsay, Dick Crosthwaite and Vic Norman amongst others. In 1983 the Drogo body, which had been crashed and was deteriorating, was removed by a ÚK specialist and replaced wîth new bodywork to the original Scaglietti GT Berlinetta short-wheelbase design.
In late 2007 the current owner, Clive Beecham, entrusted Ferrari Classic wîth a complete body-off restoration. The car, which has a continuous, uninterrupted history, had - naturally enough for a racing car - been subject to numerous repairs over the years. When stripped by Ferrari Classiche, a number of incorrect repairs to the chassis came to light, and these were rectified according to the factory's original chassis blueprints.
The engine was totally overhauled, wîth a correct-specification engine block being cast by the factory to replace the non-original block that had been fitted in 1967. At the same, the original specification Weber 46s were fitted, the transmission and differential were overhauled, and all worn or non-original components repaired or replaced wîth original parts. Where original parts were no longer available - such as pistons and connecting rods, cam shafts, gear selector forks, aluminium riveted fuel tank and exhaust system - these were remanufactured by Ferrari Classiche using the designs from the company's extensive archives.
In respect of the car's provenance, Ferrari Classiche carried out a fine-tuning operation on the bodywork. All the existing body panels were retained, but a number of structural areas were rectified where modifications had been made in period when the car was rebodied by Drogo and the scuttle line lowered.
The result is a 250 GT Berlinetta that completely respects the criteria of correct technical specifications and authenticity as laid down by Ferrari, with every single component corresponding to the exact description of the car according to the build sheet when it left the factory in June 1961.

Im Oktober 1979 fand eine Bereisung der Überlandstrecken der Stadtwerke Bonn (SWB) und der Elektrischen Bahnen der Stadt Bonn und des Rhein-Sieg-Kreises (SSB) statt. Im Bereich der damalige Linie H (heute Linie 66) erfolgte die Bereisung mit den beiden Triebwagen 311 und 436 der ehemaligen Kleinbahnen Wesel-Rees-Emmerich. Der ehemalige Triebwagen 436" (ursprünglich Bonn 437) hat bis heute (Jahr 2022) überlebt und befindet sich jetzt im Technik-Museum "Historama" in Ferlach/Kärnten/Österreich als Triebwagen 437.

I took this photograph at the Christie's International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1992 where there was a special display of Ferraris in the paddock numbered 1 to 32, and a page in the programme of the event gave details of each of the cars. Unfortunately all that the note for number 8 says is 'California'. It is a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder, a shorter chassis version of the earlier LWB car, and has the 2,953cc Gioacchino Colombo designed V12 engine. This car is chassis 2377GT which was owned for a long time by Hollywood film star James Coburn, and between 2008 and 2010 by Chris Evans.

Mitlerweile hat die SWB (Stadtwerke Bonn) alle B100S mit Zielfim in Die Hauptuntersuchung geschickt. Nach der HU Vom Letzten Doppel Mit Zielfilm 7757+7577 Bekommen die Wagen Eine LED Anzeige, und Somit ist die kommplette B100 Serie Mit LED Anzeiger Ausgerüstet. In naher zukunft werden Einige B-Wagen Sich Wohl verabschieden müssen. Im Sommer 2021 Konnte ich das Doppel kurz Vor der Haltestelle Villich-Mühldorf Richtung Bad Honnef Aufnehmen. Das Doppel war auf der Linie 66 Unterwegs. Legendlich hatte der Fahrer vergessen das ziel Zu wechseln.

Bei der Sonderfahrt gab es einen Fotohalt im Bereich Longenburg. Die Situation ist heute völlig verändert. Heute befindet sich die Bundesstraße 42. Anfang bis Mitte der 1980er-Jahre erhielt die B 42 bei Königswinter und Bonn eine neue Trassenführung, um sie vierstreifig zu erweitern und Königswinter, Niederdollendorf und Oberkassel vom Durchgangsverkehr zu entlasten. Der Streckenabschnitt verläuft teilweise im Trog, teilweise im Tunnel. Die Linie 66 wurde gleichzeitig in den Mittelstreifen des Trogabschnittes verlegt. Bei der Eröffnung im Sommer und Winter 1984 waren die Tunnel- und Trogbauwerke mit 250 Millionen Mark (etwa 130 Millionen Euro) die teuerste Bundesstraße in Deutschland.

I photographed this car in the paddock taking part in a Ferrari Owners' Club Concours d'Elegance event at the Christie's International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1992. It's the 1960 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta Competizione of Stuart Passey, chassis 2209GT. This is the competition version of the Ferrari 250 GT, one of 74 built by Scaglietti, with an aluminium alloy body and the Colombo designed 2,953cc V12 engine. The car was originally sold to Ardilio Tavoni, apparently an agent for Jo Schlesser who a few days after the purchase drove the car to third place in the 1,000km of Montlhery partnered by André Simon.
