Chassis:
Ferrari returned to their old habits with two of the second series 166 MMs by equipping them with an in house designed body. Responsible for the design was Aurelio Lampredi, who is much better known for his engine designs. The rough body was touched up by Carrozzeria Autodromo before the featured car was entered in the 1953 Mille Miglia where it was driven by Bill Mason, father of Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason. S/n 0272 M's most famous appearance was in the 1954 Mille Miglia where it was John Fitch and actor Kirk Douglas, who starred with it in the motion picture 'The Racers'. In reality Douglas failed to finish the race, but in the movie he predictably takes the overall victory.
Today s/n 0272 M is the sole survivor of the two Autodromo Spyders; its sister car received a Fantuzzi designed body similar to the Touring Barchettas. It is seen here at the 2004 Ferrari Club of America Concours d'Elegance where it was entered by Symbolic who had the car on sale at the time.
