Eventi: Cavallino Classic Monaco 2026
This issue opens with a special report on the Cavallino Classic in Monaco, which hosted the first- ever Concours d’Elegance devoted to Formula 1 Ferraris. As the venue for this event—an idea conceived by Piero Ferrari—there could hardly have been a more fitting choice than Monte Carlo. The spectacle of the Yacht Club de Monaco’s Calata a Mare Uno was extraordinary, with no fewer than 19 Formula 1 Ferraris from every era lined up for inspection by the concours judges, before then heading out onto the track. In an absolute first, private owners were permitted to drive their own cars—in this case Ferrari Formula 1 racers—on the legendary Monaco circuit. Of the 19 Ferraris entered in the concours, two later took part in the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique races, including the 1512, which won its race. We believe this to have been the first time in history that a car has competed in a Concours d’Elegance and won a Formula 1 race on the very same day.
Main feature and cover car: 1950 166 MM Berlinetta Touring s/n 0042 M
Cavallino brings you the story of a Ferrari that, after a successful racing career, entered a single- family ownership that has now lasted more than 60 years. Assembled on April 29, 1950, the car received its Touring Berlinetta body, stamped with number 3424, in Milan on May 1. Shortly afterwards, it was unveiled on the Touring stand at the Turin Motor Show. From the outset it was fitted with a used engine—ex #0026 restamped with engine number 0042—a 2.3-liter unit producing 170 HP. This 166 became famous for winning the 1950 Mille Miglia with Marzotto at the wheel, even though there is still no definitive proof that this was the engine powering the car… The car was sold new through Luigi Chinetti to racing driver Yvonne Simone, who debuted it at the Porto circuit. Numerous races and several victories later, it was returned to Chinetti, who soon sold it on again. After passing through the hands of other owners and undergoing several modifications, the car was purchased in 1965 by Mario Camellini (see Cavallino issue 266), the man who opened the first official Ferrari dealership. Ever since then, the car has remained with the Camellini family who have preserved it in the best possible condition, restoring it only where necessary and maintaining the highest possible degree of originality.
Link to main feature: Carrozzeria Touring’s 100th
To mark Carrozzeria Touring’s 100th anniversary, we tell the story of Felice Bianchi Anderloni and then Carlo Felice Bianchi Anderloni, highlighting their influence on both the styling and the construction methods behind the world’s most beautiful cars in the period from the years leading up to the Second Word War through to the end of the 1960s.
Main features: F512 M s/n 99689
The 512 M is the final evolution of the iconic Testarossa, commissioned by Luca di Montezemolo to buy time to complete the development of the new front-engine model that would replace one of the most iconic V12 cars ever produced in Maranello. The 512 M differs significantly from the previous series, both esthetically and technically. Considered one of the finest mid-engined V12s ever built by Ferrari, it was produced in just 501 units, of which 407 were finished in red and only three in Bianco Avus—this example being the first of those three. Completed on June 29, 1994, it was the first non-red 512 M built. Delivered new in the Netherlands, it later made its way to Japan and eventually the United States. Today owned by American collector Allan McDonnel, the car remains in completely preserved condition.
Focus On: Marco Piccinini
There are few—indeed, very few—people who can honestly claim to have earned Enzo Ferrari’s complete trust. One of them, without question, is Marco Piccinini, who for years served as Ferrari’s eyes and ears at racetracks around the world. But he did much more than that. Piccinini was deeply involved in Ferrari diplomacy and strategy at every level, most notably in the work that led to the “Concorde Agreement” signed—significantly—at Maranello on March 17, 1987, a document that still today represents the foundation of modern Formula 1 racing. Piccinini is a deeply private person, which is why, despite the importance of his role, there are very few published interviews with him. We are therefore sure you will enjoy this extensive account of his life and career—and do not be surprised if you find it raises the odd smile. Indeed, among Marco Piccinini’s lesser-known qualities is a sharp sense of humor, as shown by his reaction to the caricatures depicting him first as a monsignor and later as the pope.
One Off: 1967 365 California s/n 9935
The story of 1967 365 California s/n 9935 is truly unique. Not just because it was finished in the one-off color combination of Rosso Cina over Bianco Molitan leather, but also because its first owner was a NASA engineer, a member of the team involved in the Manhattan project at Los Alamos, and one of the pioneers of nuclear energy in the United States. He kept the car for more than 27 years, using it almost daily. Following an interim ownership, the car joined its current custodians in 2006—they are a family who not only care for it with great attention to detail, but also use it, creating core memories for the entire family. So much so that when son Harley, a young but already established film director, needed a car for his latest movie Allen Sunshine, the choice was obvious. Drive them: 2000 360 Modena s/n 121015 For this issue’s Drive Them feature, we turn the spotlight on a 2000 360 Modena that has covered over 140,000 km. Frequently used for long-distance journeys by its lucky Dutch owner, this car has visited Italy and southern Europe many times, often in the company of other Ferraris. S/n 121015 has shown that this model can make an ideal choice for owners wanting to use their Prancing Horses on a regular basis. If you would like to learn more about the car’s maintenance history, owner Henk de Widt’s account will be especially useful—and may well start you thinking what a shame it is each time you decide to leave your Ferrari sitting in the garage.
