Ferrari 400 factory photo

These two photos were sold yesterday on Ebay for respectively 45 GB and 37 GBP

Apparently photographed in 1982. The bottom one is at least a Ferrari 400i phase 2
This one was unknown to me.

The first photo was published in this book:

Apparently these are all from the same series, here another one that previously sold on Ebay and published in the same book:

Ascona Classic Car award 23 Settembre 2023 - Ferrari 400 GT

 2nd place for this beauty. Congrats Dedo!

used Ferrari 400 at Ferrari factory

Just adding this photo for the records. I don't recall where I found it but something tells me there is more about this car. Clearly it's located at the Ferrari premises. Maybe it was a test car or such. It does have different rimms at least. It also looks like it's heavily used.

Ferrari 412 Prince Bernhard PL-26-BG

 A nice one via the Dutch Ferrari owners club. For reference this blogpost might be interesting regarding the total amount of Ferrari's owned by him and the licence plates used. Often the crashed 365GT4 2+2 is being overlooked in the count:
