This is the 93rd Ferrari built and it is identical in type and specification to Phil Hill's first Ferrari (even down to his special front anti-roll bar). This Ferrari 212 features the Columbo designed V12 engine of 2562cc carrying the famous Carlo Felice Bianchi Anderloni design, Carrozzeria Touring style of Barchetta (little boat) body. This particular Ferrari 212 has the export version 170BHP and the original 5 speed gear box. Chassis 0165 was featured at the 1951 Earls Court Motor Show, London, was sold off the stand to Mike Hawthorn Formula 1 works driver for Ferrari. The original ugly Abbott open coach work was seperated from the chassis many years ago, an open Touring Barchetta body fitted in its place being totally restored between 1985-1992.
