HISTORIC OF THE CAR

At the end of 1965, Enzo FERRARI summoned the Scuderia FERRARI team to build a 275 GTB prototype of the 1966 275 GTB/C Series2, at the request of the Milanese Edoardo SPREAFICO team, in order to race his friend Lorenzo BANDINI in the 1966 MONZA 1000 kms. The order arrives at SCAGLIETTI.
A remarkable job was done, with a very lightweight design for the race and the best technology of the time for Lorenzi BANDINI's needs(*) under assembly numbers 337 and 342. Finally, in early 1966, for the MONZA 1000 kms, FERRARI decided to run Lorenzo BANDINI in the DINO 206 S no. 852, while the SPREAFICO team ran Giovanni PESSINA and Piero BOTALLA in the 275 GTB 08249.

the details of the expert report from the Institut de Soudure (see files) show that :
- the structure could only be lightened at the same time as the car was built
- the car was designed with a dry sump
- the bodywork has never been disassembled or changed
- the mechanics are entirely original

In addition, a number of special features characterizing the competition are noted:
- ribbed LM competition engine block with 4 attachment points
- competition gearbox
- very light structure with dry sump support, all in "apple green" color
- removable hatch for quick access to the clutch
- reduced pass-through space for oil tank
- very thin aluminum bodywork (10/10ths instead of 15/10ths)
- door-mounted exhaust
- slimmer rear and side windows
- no front or rear bumpers
- black dashboard, simplified and without choke control
- tachometer with red zone at 7,000 rpm
- no carpet inside
- no heater
- 4 "campagnolo" 15" wheels
- unpainted interior, engine compartment, fender interiors and trunk
- special seats with headrests
- support for quick lifting of the car
