And as Ferrari Willi would sometimes sign off

“Ach – the memories.”

Hello Doug,

I remember that visit with you and Ferrari Willi! I remember the car was a 166MM Spyder Corsa but I don't remember

the serial number.  If I knew then what I know now, I would have kept better track of the serial numbers and took 

more pictures of the cars I have been around.

 

I do remember driving this one around a bit.......

Hello Hans

Picture this – many years ago Ferrari Willi, AKA Ferrari Bubba when he moved to Arkansa – traveld down to see Brian Keegan.  There we saw a restoration in process.  See the attached.  Brian – if you read this – perhaps you could fill in the gang more about this early One-of-the-firsts Ferrari’s

Cheers

Doug

Bubba – remember when we went down to Symbolic’s work shop and met with Brian Keegan?  The shop was in the process of restoring the FIRST (?) Ferrari 001.  However, there was a controversy since those silly Italians to beat the tax man over stamped the numbers so the most prominent numbers read 003.  I think there was a C in there someplace.

Note to all: My latest issue of CAVALLINO Magazine (The Journal of Ferrari History) has the 1947 Ferrari 166 Spyder Corsa V-12, one of 8? built, is valued at between $950,000 - $1,250,00 USD. Odd, when the 1962 250 GTO Series I (33 built) are valued between $26,000,000-$30,000,000 USD! (That's $Million, folks!)

More to follow, but I believe it was imported by Luigi C. of NART fame and owned by Briggs Cunningham early on. Sam Collier was killed in either this car or 005, I'll have to check. Maybe someone out there without my 75 year-old brain with dementia can help this old fool out?

Yer pal, still pluggin' away in East Jesus, Ferrari Bubba
