Here’s a stunning competition Ferrari from the 1970s, the 512 M, which is currently being offered by @tomhartleyjnrltd. Our friends at @classicdriver have the full details on this remarkable car: Built as an Italian missile to fire directly at the class-leading Porsches during the 1970s, the Ferrari 512 M was a direct descendant of the 512 S, building on the original car’s successes but added more powerful rear disc brakes and new suspension setup, allowing its brave drivers to put the monstrous power from its V12 engine down with far more confidence. This example from @tomhartleyjunior, one of the most original surviving examples, was first configured as one of the 25 Ferrari 512 S cars for the 1970 season. Once completed, it was returned to the factory to be upgraded to the ‘M’, or ‘Modificata’ variations, where it would put in some very respectable performances during the 1971 season, including a return trip to Le Mans which it had competed in during the previous season. It was only when the rules were changed to ban 5-litre cars at the end of 1971 that this example, chassis 1018’s period racing career came to an end, but can now be enjoyed to its fullest once more on the historical event calendar and will be right at home during Le Mans Classic and the Masters Historic Racing series.
Just a few of the stunning Ferraris which appeared at our show back in 2021. Which one would you pick for a Sunday drive? Our event will return to Hampton Court Palace from 5th-7th September. Pics: @timscott Presented by @alangesoehne
