法拉利330 P4到港?

By admin, April 23, 2014 1:10 pm

前幾天有人在香港機場拍到了這個震撼的場面,運輸車上面赫然承載的竟然是全球只剩下3台60年代火紅的法拉利戰車330 P4!!!

但是仔細觀看之下,總覺得神韻方面缺少了些什麼,不太可能是底盤為0856 (P4, 67 Lemans #24)/0858 (p4, 67 Lemans #21)/0860 (P4, 67 Lemans #19)/的3台真品。而且價值連城的330 P4 (應該過億港幣) 不可能就這麼任由一台普通運輸車加上沒有保安的情況下走在公路上。

後來有朋友指出,這個很可能又是另一台330 P4的Replicas複製車

真相如何,拭目以待!

All of the P4s built are accounted for.

By chassis number:

0846 the only P3/4 was originally built early in 1966 as a P3 by Ferrari. It was modified in December 1966 to accept a P4 engine and it’s wheelbase was decreased P3 2412mm to P4 2400mm. It retained its P3 nose and chassis and vestigial P3 engine mounts becoming a P 3/4. This vehicle was damaged in an accident at Le Mans and was discarded by Ferrari.

Recently, many components of the original P3/4 0846 including it’s original P 3/4 chassis have resurfaced in the possession of exotic car collector and enthusiast James Glickenhaus, a former movie director and stock exchange magnate. Although both he and David Piper (from whom he acquired the car) thought it one of three replica P4 chassis constructed with the blessing of Enzo Ferrari in the mid 70ies from Factory P4 Chassis Blueprints given to David Piper by Enzo Ferrari, a recent “Death Bed Statement” of Tom Meade’s confirms that Tom Meade bought, Directly From Enzo Ferrari, in the early 70ies, Ferrari P 3/4 0846’s original fire damaged chassis which had been put in the Ferrari Factory Scrap Yard after 0846’s accident at Le Mans in 1967 and later sold 0846’s original P 3/4 chassis to the original chassis maker who repaired and sold it, unbenounced to David Piper, who thought the original chassis maker was making three new P4 Chassis from the original P4 chassis blueprints Enzo Ferrari gave to him. 0846’s Original P3/4 Chassis is different from, and can not be made from P4 Blueprints.

Nearly all of the tube frame chassis and other components from the original wrecked P3/4 0846 are part the car owned by James Glickenhaus today. This discovery has stirred debate. The Ferrari Market Letter recently reported: “While Ferrari insists that 0846 was scrapped and is no more, a car exists with strong claims to be the resurrection of that car.” Its tube frame chassis appears to be a P3 Chassis modified to hold a P4 engine, as was the case with 0846 exclusively, and the damage from two contemporary racing accidents appears in the frame as well. The car’s transmission, engine heads, and steering rack also include the correct Le Mans scrutineering marks, linking them to P3 0846 and P3/4 0846 of 1966 and 1967. P3/4 0846 was road tested by Car and Driver magazine.

Since 2002 Ferrari S.p.A. has published the fact on their official web site Ferrari.com in the owners section, in Ferrari S.p.A’s sole discretion, that Ferrari P 3/4 Chassis 0846 is owned by James Glickenhaus since July 2000, when he bought it from David Piper. The legal identity of this particular car that James Glickenhaus has owned since July 2000 as published by Ferrari S.p.A. on their copyrighted web site was established when James Glickenhaus informed Ferrari S.p.A. that he was registering this car as 1967 Ferrari 330 P4 Chassis 0846 with US Motor Vehicle Authorities in 2000 and if Ferrari believed this was not true that they had the duty to act within a two year period which they did not. “The common law doctrine of estoppel by acquiescence is applied when one party gives legal notice to a second party of a fact or claim, and the second party fails to challenge or refute that claim within a reasonable time. The second party is said to have acquiesced to the claim, and is estopped from later challenging it, or making a counterclaim. The doctrine is similar to, and often applied with, estoppel by laches.”

- 0856 remains in its original state and is owned by Lawrence Stroll
- 0858 was converted into a 350 Can-Am by Ferrari but is now fitted with a replica P4 Coupe body.
- 0860 was also converted by Ferrari to a 350 Can-Am but is presently wearing a replica P4 Spyder body and is in a French automobile museum

The Ferrari 330 P4 made a notable appearance in the video game Forza Motorsport 2. The P4 in Forza Motorsport 3 is patterned on P3/4 0846 which James Glickenhaus made available to Microsoft and James Glickenhaus is credited by Microsoft in Forza Motorsport for making his P3/4 0846 available to them for this purpose. The P4 also appears in the video game Gran Turismo 5, as one of the most expensive 20 million classics on the game.

P4 Replicas

Due to the great fame and sleek appearance of the original design, more than a hundred P4 replicas of various design have been built. A high-quality P4 replica built with genuine Ferrari engine (e.g., a 400i V12) may command as much as $200,000, but simpler ones (often with Rover engines and Renault drive-trains) fetch around $50,000.

There have also been replica chassis built:

- 0900 was a continuation commissioned and currently owned by David Piper
- 0900a is another currently unfinished continuation also owned by Piper
- 0900b is a third continuation, but is still under construction. Its frame was made in the 2000s by Piper for an American customer.
