Jeff, is that all the FIA cars? It looks like a white emblem on the front of the red one, or is it not an FIA car?
Thanks guys! |
The red one was not one of the five original FIA cars. I don't know what chassis number it is; it is identified as a customer-ordered race car in the book. All five FIA cars had the light blue paint with a different color nose stripe.
Only four of the five FIA cars raced at the 1964 Targa Florio; CSX2259 did not, and I don't have any period pictures of it. CSX2301 (car 150) was an original FIA car, and, as mentioned, it had a smooth trunk, as well as white Cobra badges on the front and back. Its nose stripe was purple. It also had a fuel spill guard surrounding the filler cap that the others didn't have. The dashboards were all the same.
