Factory photo

Barely noticeable but there is a white 412 in the top right corner. I suspect this must be somewhere around 1985 or 1986.

Ferrari Testarossa Prototype

I stumbled upon this photo via  https://italiaautosport.com/history/

1983 - Ferrari Testarossa.

John was lucky enough to be one of the first people to lay eyes on the Ferrari Testarossa, by accidentally coming across the development prototype at the Ferrari factory headquarters in Maranello.

Adding it here just for the records because it's a cool photo and it has 2 x 400s on it as well.

Ferrari Factory photo : Bertone 308GT4, Pininfarina 400 /512BB and Scaglietti 308 / 328

From the same book I posted earlier. A great Ferrari factory shot with all models from that era, I suspect this is a photo taken in 1978 or 1979.  

Bertone 308GT4, Pininfarina 400/512BB and Scaglietti 308/328

Ferrari Factory 1977 - OH YEAH!

Earlier this week someone posted a photo a vintage photo on Facebook in a specific car group I follow. I noticed this watermark and as such I looked it up. Turned out the watermark was pointing towards www.revsinstute.org  I wasn't aware of this one. Apparently it's an automotive museum with a huge online photo library. And you can guess it, I used the search option and typed Ferrari 400. And presto, this unique photo popped up:



The item description mentions the year 1977 and Ferrari Factory. The photographer is John Thomas. I made an attempt to do a little more Google research regarding him but apparently it's a very common name and quite a few in the photo business as well. Typical. 

In any case, I noticed he made quite a few photo's about specific race events. But then I noticed he had made a complete series of the Ferrari Factory visit in 1977. And that revealed so many more unique photo's and quite a few did had 400's on it as well but clearly did not use that label in the description. How cool is that! So pleased with this great addition of unique material.  Although I made the selection with 400 material only it's definitely worthwhile to check out the complete series.

So here goes, click to enlarge, enjoy:

On this photo you can see 2x 400 in the background


On this photo you can see 2x 400 in the top right corner on the bridge


This one was a bit of a shocker, I spotted Lucas oil filters! Always thought originally UFI was fitted.


How cool is this shot, only 1x 400 spotted


In this warehouse shot I can only spot 1x 400


On this parking place I spotted 3x 400


Well ...

This one revealed another surprise. It was my understanding the radio's were ordered and fitted locally by the dealer and not in the factory. I'm now very curious to know which brand and model this particular radio is, anyone?

Update: Yes, it's a Voxson Stereo Cassette FM


My favorite oil brand can not be missed out. Love this period factory shot


At least 1x 400 in the workshop



You want to see more factory photo's? On the sidebar there is a section called "blog labels" one of them is listed as "factory" Just click it.

Ferrari 400i bodywork assembly at Pininfarina Factory Grugliasco 1984

And the last one in this series. How cool is that? You can see on the same production line the Fiat 124 spider being put together. Click to enlarge:


For the records adding this photo as well which has a Fiat 124 spider and a Ferrari 400i on it in front of the Pininfarina Windtunnel which is next to the factory. The man posing is Sergio Pininfarina.

Ferrari Factory Maranello 1978 - Ferrari 400

This one got posted today on Facebook. Such a great photo. I'm still surprised these are popping up every now and then. Then again, 2020 is the year of the 400, bring it on!
