Chassis:
This was the first of the four Ferrari 340 Mexicos prepared for the 1952 Carrera Panamericana. Gigi Villoresi drove the car in the event but failed to reach the finish Together with 0226AT, it was subsequently sold to American Allen Guiberson. He failed to reach the finish. A year later Phil Hill and Richie Ginther suffered a similar fate. Hill raced the car again early in 1954 but chassis 0222AT did not make it to the end. In the following years the Ferrari V12 was replaced by an easier to maintain Chevrolet V8. During the 1980s the car was re-engined once more. Fittingly the striking Ferrari is today in Mexican ownership. It is seen here during the 2005 Quail, a Motorsports Gathering where the Carrera Panamericana was one of the featured themes.
