Chassis:
Originally a works car, chassis 1022 has had a complicated history. After two fruitless outings for the factory team, the car was handed to Corrado Manfredini to replace his damaged chassis 1032. For tax purposes the frame of 1022 was restamped 1032. Under its new identity the 512 S was raced extensively and around the world in 1970 by Gianpiero Moretti, scoring several victories. Over the winter the car was upgraded to 512 M specifications. In 1971 it was raced only once, in the Imola 500 km under the Scuderia Filipinetti banner.
After its active career, the car was sold to David Piper. In the UK the car was restored to its 1971 guise. It has since changed hands numerous times. Under the ownership of Swiss collector Marc Caveng, the chassis's intricate history was carefully researched and the car was restamped 1022. It also received a factory certification of origin. Through Geneva based broker Simon Kidston, the ex-Scuderia Filipinetti 512 M was sold to its current British owner; a leading Formula 1 designer. He is seen here in action during the 2008 Goodwood Festival of Speed.
