MAUTO - Aldo Brovarone exposition - Ferrari 412

 Currently there is a exposition in the MAUTO museum in Torino about Aldo Brovarone.

There is no mention about this exposition on their website. But it was mentioned on their social media:

 

Not visible in their posting but I have seen from other sources the following drawing is presented in this expostion:

1984 Pininfarina Ferrari 412 Illustrazione Aldo Brovarone

I wonder if Aldo did had any design involvement in the uplifted design for the 412. As might be known he's responsible for the Lancia Gamma Coupe which has the same classic Pininfarina C-pilar characteristic as the 400 series.

I did happen to have met him in the past in the same museum but back then I was unaware of this drawing, else I certainly would have asked.

Ferrari Club Nederland meeting 1986 at Zandvoort

Ferrari Club Nederland 27 september 1986 at Circuit Zandvoort. Only one 400 showed up by the looks of it. Adding it here just for the records.

German magazine : Octane Sammlerausgabe September 2026 - Ferrari 412 + Rockstar car

Thanks to my car buddy Jos I obtained this German edition of the Octane Magazine. It has two seperate articles about the 400 series. The first one is about the 412 and the 2nd one is a translated article which was published in this UK Octane version:

https://erwin400.blogspot.com/2025/09/octane-magazine-ferrari-412-rockstars.html

They are merged together in one PDF and now available in my download folder.

Oh, the German 412 article has also incorrectly mentioned the 400 series has a Borg Warner automatic. So much for "Deutsche Gründlichkeit". It's linked directly to this blogpost:

Out of interest I just checked the Ferrari website again and it has never been updated accordingly. Oh well.
